I don't even think you should tell the audience you're improvising. It's like an apology in case it's bad : 'we're just making it up' If the improv isn't better than the rehearsed stuff, then you should just rehearse it.

If it weren't for fear, I wouldn't have to teach you a damn thing

I see a great lack of stories around. I bought six literary magazines and looked through them to see what people were doing. There wasn't a story in them. They were all about how poetic the feelings of the author were.

Good impro can make you laugh, we love it, but soon the content is forgotten. Good scenes from The Life Game stay with you always. They haunt you.

The improviser has to understand that his first skill lies in releasing his partner’s imagination.

If people had no fear, you'd hardly need to have to teach them. It's the fear that screws everything up.

Light entertainment means it mustn't teach you anything.
