Jim Mocarski
Believe it or not, Jim’s sense of humor wasn’t always appreciated during his Aerospace and Defense career. Hoping to reignite his creative side after too much corporate training tried to stamp it out; he started classes at Westside in 2023. After taking just about every class Westside has to offer, Jim is convinced that the key to a good set is wearing his cerulean blue improv shoes. He is grateful to his wife Chris for encouraging him to try new things and for the Westside community’s inspiration and support to follow through.
Jim plays on Sprinkles and Futon Music.

Kim Woods
Kim found improve and Westside in the fall of 2022, and she’s grateful for the community and opportunities to learn, play, grow and laugh here. Her only previous stage experience was as an inexperienced vocalist and percussionist (the shaker, tambourine and cow bell) with an adult band through School of Rock. She got to play at the iconic Double Door in Chicago which was pretty cool though not as cool as playing at this great improv studio in Wheaton.
