The Fandom Show: Improv

(Podcasts)

YES AND! This week we’re talking to improviser, comedian and Artistic Director of the Bad Dog Theatre Company, Alia Rasul (she/her), about the art form where everything is made up on the spot - IMPROV! We talk about the health and social benefits of improv comedy, what improv has in common with sports, techniques and rules that make the magic work, the importance of live performance, how improv can help your dating life, the world's most famous improvisers, mindfulness and listening, why mistakes are a gift and why comedians hate when you call their material a ‘skit’. Plus, the myriad reasons that diversity makes for a healthy creative community and why you don’t need to be ‘funny’ to try improv.
