John Frusciante is a writer and improviser who has studied and performed at the UCBT since 1999, where he has been hoisted up upon the shoulders of such luminaries as Ali Farahnakian, Michael Delaney, Kevin Mullaney, Amy Poehler, and Ian Roberts. He also had the privilege of studying at IO Chicago with Charna Halpern and Miles Stroth. John has appeared on the Harold team Petrol (2001-2002), the internet reality show Project: Improviser, and the 2006 “It Sucked!” Awards. He was a co-founder of the acclaimed New Jersey improv group Possible Side Effects, whose weekly improv show The Comedy Revolution ran for five years and whose weekly televised improv and sketch comedy show was cancelled by the then-fledgling PAX network just weeks before airing. John co-wrote the 2003 feature-length independent film Reality and Stuff, starring Possible Side Effects and many other faces from the UCB community. His written work has appeared in various forms on the UCBT stage, on the website CollegeHumor.com, and on his own website, JohnFrusciante.org. He is not the guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
