Steve Hibbert: From Improv and 'Gimp' to Teaching and Writing

Welcome to Gigi in the 561, where I invite you to listen to my interview with special guest Steve Hibbert, who boasts a long career in show business.  ​First, some facts about Steve:

Steve Hibbert – who is a recent transplant to Colorado - had a nearly 3 decade-long career as a professional actor, theater director, improv/sketch writing teacher, and as a TV/screen writer. He now teaches improv and sketch writing at the Bovine Metropolis Theater in the historic Larimer Square District of Downtown Denver. Steve got his start in the '80s and early '90s as a performer, writer (later teacher and director) at the justifiably famous breeding ground for comedy: The Groundlings Theater in L.A. From there he went onto write for "Tiny Toons Adventures" "Animaniacs," "SNL," MADtv," "It's Pat," "Howie Mandel's Sunny Skies," "Boy Meets World" "Random Play" along with a decade-long run ('98-'09) on the writing staff of the "MTV Movie Awards." Steve also did punch-ups and rewrites on a bunch of movie comedies, most notably the "Austin Powers" and "Shrek" series of films. Steve's professional acting credits include: "Dr. Ken," "Rush Hour," "True Jackson, VP," "Twenty Good Years," "Jericho," "The Cat in the Hat," "Austin Powers 2," "Just Shoot Me," and, yes, he played ‘The Gimp’ in "Pulp Fiction."
