The Relationship Between Stand-Up Comedy and Improv Comedy If you’re an improviser and you used to getting laughs on stage for your improv skills, you’ve probably had the following sentence said to you: “You should do stand-up comedy”. “You should do stand-up.” It’s something many of us have heard and indeed there are performers who do improv, and stand-up and acting and musical theatre, and there are some that just… - Parody Trailer for E.T.

One of the great things about doing improv is it’s an activity which people can quickly start to get into.

The phrase ‘Yes And’ is probably the most well known saying associated to improv. It promotes the idea that when performing improv, the best practice is to say ‘yes and’ to what your scene partners offer you.
