Why Improv?

The biggest laughs I’ve ever had in my life are something going off the rails, something going wrong, something happening that wasn’t supposed to happen. Improv teaches you not to fear those moments; that’s where the gold is.

— Conan O’Brien

The truth is funny. Honest discovery, observation, and reaction is better than contrived invention.

— Del Close & Charna Halpern
