In this episode of The Founders Hustle, Judy Swafford sits down with Dann Sytsma, founder of Crawlspace Comedy Theater and Improv Effects, to explore how he went from analytical chemistry to building a creative business that’s transforming how people connect — on stage and in the workplace.
Dann shares his journey from lab experiments to laughter, how one “yes, and…” moment sparked a 20-year passion project, and how improv became a powerful tool for leadership, communication, and confidence.
From growing a local comedy theater with his wife Tara to teaching Fortune 500 companies the power of play, Dann’s story reminds us that entrepreneurship is really just one big improv act — full of curiosity, courage, and collaboration.
