What is improv?
For our purposes, improv is theatre and comedy made up on-the-spot! We take suggestions from the audience and use them along with games and formats that have been developed by greater minds than ours and by minds just as great as ours...but really why are we comparing brains? Brains are unique and there's no "greater" or "lesser" when it comes to brains. I digress. We make up stories on-the-spot and act them out and tell jokes that will never be told again (mostly because nobody's asked us to tell them a second time).
