Dave Ries

Dave considers being in the DSI family not only a pleasure, but a privilege as well. Currently, he is a member of the critically acclaimed ensemble, The Beatbox. He began his improv career in Cleveland, OH, where he first started taking classes at Cabaret Dada. From there, he moved to North Carolina and was a founding member of The Idiot Box Comedy Club in Greensboro. His goal of making improv something more than a “hobby” brought him back up north to Chicago, where he continues to perform, learn, lead, and follow. He can also be seen performing at ComedySportz and the Playground theater.
Dave would like to thank his wife, Jen, for her continued love and support, and all that she puts up with in the world of Improv.
