Experience Gary John Miller’s journey through stand-up, improv, and storytelling with reflections and updates from the stage.


Finding My Way Back to the Joy of Improv in Bangkok
June 20th marked seven months since I started performing in Bangkok — and what a ride it’s been. I hit the ground running with short-form shows at Comedy Club Bangkok, doing the familiar fast-paced games in the spirit of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. But this night was different. We performed a long-form improv show in the style of Choose Your Own Adventure books, and I remembered how intimidating long-form used to feel. It’s funny — the more I do it, the more it feels like home.

Boulder Fringe Festival Post-Show Diary
So… I said I’d keep up with blogging. I didn’t. In fact, this was the only entry I ever wrote for the whole Fringe. One lonely blog post. And now, six years later, I’m finally circling back — because I’m realizing that having a record of these weird, vulnerable, electric moments is actually worth something.

A Look back at the 2019 Boulder International Fringe Festival
I performed a week of shows at the 15th Annual Boulder International Fringe Festival this year, and I was thrilled to see so many familiar faces there. Though this photo makes me look like a decent human being with at least an ounce of decorum, I want to officially go on record and say that all performances were fully savage. I take no responsibility for how reckless I actually was on stage.

Back in Denver, I joined Grafenberg Theater as a writer and performer in a show called 303’s & Heartbreaks. It was my first actual sketch writing job at a dedicated comedy theater — not something I made with friends or solo.
Up until then, all the writing I’d done had been just me. I was used to seeing my ideas through from beginning to end, without needing to answer to anyone else. For better or worse, it was just my voice. But this was different. This was a show. With co
