About us

Will Davis has a background in information technology, where his primary role involves consulting with key business stakeholders concerning cyber threats and risk to the organization's security posture. This experience has given him the exposure of facilitating conversations with various workgroups in the company. 

He sought professional improv training in Atlanta and adapted quickly to a new environment. Within a year, Will studied various forms of improvisation, from musical to long form. 

His professional background and improv experience provide him with a distinct perspective that bolsters support and communication. Helping others combine the aspects of improv into their professional lives will benefit them immensely.

Sam Zell-Breier has always been passionate about art, creativity, and expression. A storyteller by trade, he has made it his life's mission to inspire others through his writing and performing.

He began his improv journey in 2017 when he reluctantly signed up for his first improvisation class. It turned out to be the best reluctant decision he ever made.

Beginning formal training in 2018, Sam has studied long-form and short-form improv and has been performing since 2019. Improvisation has greatly improved his life, both socially and professionally.

Witnessing the benefits of improv first-hand, Sam knew how well these skills carry over to our lives beyond the stage. He set out to start Laugh 1st with Will Davis so he could help others see those benefits too —  not to mention he just really loves improvising. Sam is excited to help you reach your full potential through improv.
