Dennis worked for a time in childrens' theatre, and also worked briefly
at the Shadowbox Cabaret near Cincinnati, Ohio. In the summer of 2004,
Dennis shifted his artistic attention to long-form improvisation,
performing with the Louisville, Kentucky-based group "Project Improv"
for a year and a half, as well as working in various independent film
and stage productions. Currently, Dennis resides in Chicago, where he
is studying at IO (formerly the Improv Olympic) and the Annoyance
