Forget everything you’ve heard about Nick Brownrigg. Especially if you heard it from that filthy dirty liar Bobby Flay. Guy doesn’t know what in the hell he’s talking about, alright?

He spends most of his time playing with Preston Street improv, who recently won Second Funniest Improv Troupe in Houston for the second year in a row. When not performing, he is riding his bike with his kids or staving off the sweltering summer heat with local craft brews.
