In the span of 10 minutes, he's a foreigner on a Mumbai local, flirting with a co-passenger; a man grieving the death of his close friend, only to find that his wife cheated on him with the latter; and an employer interviewing a candidate for a call-centre job. All of it, completely unscripted. That's Adam Dow for you, the man who brought improv to the Indian scene back in 2009 and has since gone on to mentor big names in the country, including Nasir Engineer, Tanmay Bhat and Kaneez Surka. Hailing from Seattle, Washington, Dow, who has worked with improv masters like Russell Peters, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie, is bringing The Improv Spot to a Khar venue this Tuesday.

The performer, who shuttles between Mumbai and Seattle, where he is associated with Unexpected Productions, is also a guest lecturer at Whistling Woods International in the city.
