Rest in Peace, Mike Butler

Earlier today, the Philly comedy community was stunned as news of the passing of Mike Butler came out. In the sketch world, Mike will probably be best remembered as a member of Adventure Friends, which graced the Philly Sketchfest stage numerous times as well as various other stages and festivals. His love of improv was evident, playing with all kinds of forms, partners, and teams over the years. In the early days of My First Sketch, his support and enthusiasm was honestly something I took for granted. 

My heart goes out to his family, friends, and everyone who laughed with him. Rest easy, Mike. 

Here is my chat with Mike, originally released in June, 2017.
