Two Quick Thoughts About Improv
I’m tired and lazy, so instead of typing out a delicately thought out masterpiece, I’m just going to say two quick, short things.
1. Play with people you like. This is said a lot, but it’s so true. The team I’m on now, Fish Train, was formed from me and a few friends who like to hang out and be around one another wanting to play. We’ve had a few shows now and they...
Grown Ass Boy: An Improv Thought →
aapruzzese:
I was parousing (computer/dictionary says that isn’t a word, I say it is) Reddit today and came a cross a thread which asked people “what was the best money they ever spent?” Oddly enough, this lead me to an improv thought.
To my surprise, most people didn’t talk about TVs, computers, or cars….
The Daily Grace: I'm an Improviser! Grab Me!! →
thedailygrace:
Maybe I’m in a little bit of bad mood today. Maybe I’ve just had too much caffeine. Maybe I’m nervous about the way too many things I have going on today but I just want to talk for a minute about the perception of Improvisers being open and fair game for anything from anyone at all times. Am I…

Thanks To Improv
I have committed seppuku, doused somebody in gasoline, gotten into epic gun battles, thrown knives at people, flown a plane, driven a boat, been a spy and countless other things.
Improv is great, you guys.

Imagine if everybody cared this much about EVERY issue out there and not just ones that affect them directly.
Let’s stop these dumb bills but continue to be this passionate about EVERY issue after this. The world has SO many issues that are worst than censoring the internet that a lot of people, myself included, have no opinion on. Let’s change that.

This is a series where great improv teachers I know write down their thoughts on teaching improv. We start with Chris Gethard, who was the second person to ever run the UCBT-NY school after Kevin Mullaney. Gethard wrote the first full curriculum for the school, taught dozens and dozens of very popular classes at all levels and also coached some of the best teams to ever develop...

Malls: Fact or Fiction
Year after year after year after year, millions and millions and millions and millions of our nation’s teenage boys and teenage girls go to malls. To shop. To buy clothes and posters of Mark Wahlberg and Led Zepplin and that girl from Transformers. Or so they say. What’s really going on there? I’m here to figure it out. Malls, are they fact or fiction?
At first I was stumped....

It had been seven years since he had last seen her. Her, the mythical ‘one who got away’. The reason he was afraid to talk to girls. It had been seven years since he saw her making out with somebody at his going away party. Seven years since he felt his heart break like it never had before, a sort of feeling that doesn’t wash away no matter how many beers or whiskeys you pour...
