Philip was performing in a show at Huge Improv Theater in December 2015. He needed a volunteer to "be his friend." After an awkward pause, Sarah volunteered, jumped on stage, and answered Philip's numerous questions. Four months later, Philip asked Sarah to join his improv troupe. Sarah had to remind Philip they had already met, and they became friends performing together. Three months after that, they watched fireworks on the Fourth of July and began dating.
