There’s no substitute for the skills and character (pun intended) developed from performing improv live on stage. Fielding audience suggestions and quick instructions, and pivoting to create a dynamic scene that’s emotionally engaging and side-splittingly funny, has taught me valuable lessons. I’ve learned to trust my instincts, shed inhibitions, absorb every bit of information around me, and disregard the threat of failure. As an intent listener, I thrive on collaborating with a team to craft something uniquely creative.
Perfectionism takes a back seat; it’s all about taking action. In comedy, timing reigns supreme. It demands patience and confidence—the confidence to step forward as the star or the humility to know when to step back and let others shine. The ultimate goal? To serve the scene and the team, ensuring the best comedic experience.
Improv has been both challenging and rewarding. Picture this: you’re fully connected with your scene partners on stage, performing in front of a packed house. The room erupts in laughter, and you—whether playing a big or small role—know you’ve contributed to that magical moment. It’s one of the best feelings in the world.
