Geva Comedy Improv bids farewell to Tim Goodwin


GCI’s legendary leader, Tim Goodwin, waves to the crowd after his final show

Last month, GCI’s Administrator TIM GOODWIN performed his final show with us before packing up all his worldly possessions and setting course for Lake George, NY where he was cast in a production of Bruce Jordan’s “Shear Madness”. Sources close to Tim indicate that upon completion of the run of the show, he will relocate to New York City where he will “Make a go of it” and “possibly buy a wristwatch in China Town”.

A very talented actor and one hell of an improviser, Tim has been described by his closest friends as “charming, witty and an all around ok guy to hang out with sometimes, but not too often because it gets old pretty fast”. Tim’s presence has graced Geva Theatre Center and the Nextstage since the origins of Geva Comedy Improv and he will most assuredly be missed by those who knew him the least and missed slightly less by those who knew him the most. A great friend and Administrator of all things Improv, GCI conspired behind his back to put together this surprise farewell video which we showed at the end of his last performance:



Fare thee well Tim Goodwin and know that Wher’er the wind gusts North by East, so too lies the iron kettle and woolen blankets of yore; it is there you shall find us, and forever welcome you will be. Bon Voyage, sweet prince, and may you dream a dream of butterscotch and pennywhistles till the very end of days.
