“Jose has heart and magic in spades. It’s what makes his improv so special. He doesn’t so much perform / teach, as much he channels / illuminates. He’s like the Ray Stantz of improv!”
- Javier Gilmore, Light Rail Pirates – Phoenix, AZ
“Jose taught me to listen to others and listen to the voice inside myself. He also taught me about waffles and patience.”

“Jose is passionate about the art of improv, and his passion shines through in his teaching. It’s also contagious in wanting to learn more about improv, and Jose is knowledgeable in providing resources and getting you to connect any way he can. He also sees the best in everyone, and wants them to do their best. Jose will never tear down a student because he is full of kindness. I would recommend Jose to teach any class or workshop.”
- Maria Sharps, Annoyance Theater – Chicago, IL
“Jose’s greatest strength as a teacher and a coach is his holistic approach to improv. Not only will he teach you specific skills to use on stage as an individual or as a group – he will provide you with a greater understanding of how to apply improv to the rest of your life as well.”
- Marisol Chavez, SAVI Fest – Phoenix, AZ
“Jose pushed me and encouraged me to be awkward, weird, and grow beyond my comfort zones. For this I am eternally grateful.”
- Ryan Avery, Related Records – Phoenix, AZ
“Whenever I see Jose Gonzalez taking the stage, I take a seat in the audience. The man is an improv beast whose knowledge is as grand as the canyon state he lives in. I was lucky enough to take a class from Jose, and I was enthralled with improv. That’s what Jose does. He makes you excited so the information he gives is absorbed. He is the Bounty Paper Towel Man of improvisation. Jose’s only limitation: he can’t be everywhere at one time… damn you Jose… damn you!”
