Improv Obsession

“Any good improvisers loves to get a gift.”

“When you do improv with people regularly you have to spice it up, sort of like a marriage. Do something they don’t normally see you do. They’ll immediately be on their toes and it brings a new energy to the stage.”

“Let’s see what kind of trouble we can get into.” -Del Close

“Improv progress comes in plateaus. You get better then you stay the same for a while and then you dip a little. Then you jump to the next plateau. Each plateau takes longer than the one before it and there are infinite number of plateaus.”

“I understand why the UCB guys drill game. They want you to initiate with game, they want you to make it clear to your partner. But, what I’ve noticed when doing Asssscat is they give up their game for a bigger and better game.”

“Why complicate the game any more than I like being old. If that’s the thing you like about the scene, then do it. The other things in the scene are just fuel for that game.”

“It’s less about finding the game, and more about finding the fun. It’s not going to be worth playing a game that you don’t find fun.”

“Improv is the antidote to this town.”
