This week we sat down with the ever-delightful Nisse Greenberg.  We discuss the openness and raw emotions that storytelling can and should bring out in us, Nisse’s own personal neuroses, and how a sketch about exploding diarrhea represented his true self.    Nisse Greenberg is an award winning storyteller and educator who has produced a bunch of shows and performed on more of them. He is the co-creator of VHS Presents and Drawn Out Storytelling, and the creator of Bad Feelings. He likes radishes. He once got paid to get naked and cry at lincoln center. He’s sick right now. He thinks it’s a sinus infection. He drank some horseradish and apple-cider vinegar, and now he’s gonna make turmeric tea. (editor’s note: Nisse is alive and healthy at present time) His playground is at nissegreenberg.com

Ep 16 - Nisse Greenberg

While teaching a math class, Nisse Greenberg is troubled by his student's name, and his own. Nisse Greenberg is an educator and storyteller who eats mostly vegetarian. Sometimes he eats wings because wings are really good. When he applied for a visa to go to India he tried to type "atheist" into the proposed slot for religion, but he accidentally typed "matheist." He found it more appropriate anyway. He teaches high-school math to high-schoolers and math philosophy to adults. He creates art with spreadsheets and quantitative analysis. He also curates storytelling for The Tank, and hosts the shows Bad Feelings, VHS Presents, and Drawn Out Storytelling. Here is his playground: nissegreenberg.com Learn more about your ad choices.
