Eric & Sandy Jensen Highlight
If you're happy to wake up in the morning and go do your job, it doesn't become a job...it becomes your life.
About Eric and Sandy
- Sandy had a strict upbringing where she was supposed to be seen, not heard; people were constantly telling her to speak up.
- Her husband taught her that when she was being silly, rather than prim or proper, she lost all her fears.
- When Eric was three years old, he told his mom he wanted to be a comedian.
- Eric thinks many people really know what they want to do, "but they don't have the courage to really follow it."
- Eric says there is constant self-doubt in his profession: when doing improv, sometimes you step out on stage, have no idea what to say.
- Met when they were both studying theater at the University of Utah.
- Opened their own comic theater, which produces plays, musicals and improv events.
- Eric says "you have to have a little bit of fear in life to push you away from the edge when there's danger," but most "failures" are only mildly humiliating, not dangerous.
