I’m excited to introduce you to Eric Van Leeuwen (@vanlooenator on Instagram), my friend who I met through Dallas Comedy House!
Eric joins Lindsay Power and Scriven Bernard as other DCH T1Ds who have been on the podcast, and he shares a story that I had forgotten about how he discovered this podcast.
After signing up to take level 1 improv in 2016, Eric was googling “Things Diabetics Do” which led him to this website and this podcast, and in reading my bio discovered that I was a teacher and performer at Dallas Comedy House, where he had just enrolled in classes.
Since then, Eric and I have become good buddies through our “beetus probs” Facebook messenger group, which features multiple T1Ds associated with the comedy community.
This isn’t Eric’s first time on Diabetics Doing Things, he also appeared in our first live show In 2018 at DCH, where Lindsay, Scriven, Eric and I improvised Diabetes related scenes to raise money for JDRF Dallas.
