When was the last time you laughed so much you nearly peed yourself? Are you crushed under a weight of responsibilities? Have you forgotten how to play? It's said that improv is a gateway drug to finding out what really makes you tick. For some people, it's improv. For some, it's the first step to stand up, writing, acting, podcasting, public speaking, travelling, moving out, changing jobs, starting a festival, making a show, writing sketches, taking a break. Here we cover improv fundamentals through the lens of “truth in comedy” and building comedic relationships. Try it. If you don’t like it after the first hour, I’ll give you your money back.
