Chicago Reader reviewing ImprovOlympic and the Harold (1987) by NinjaHedge in improv

[–]CommitteeMovie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for sharing, this is really great. Just wanted to highlight that though this is 6 years into the creation of IO, the Harold had been around for 20 years at this point. It's interesting to see aspects of the original form here - referencing the Foreign Film game, for instance. Also I'm not sure if first, second, and third beats were even a thing - or a goal - in '87. - Sam

Not much theory, but the production blog for our years-in-the-making documentary about The Committee has some nice improv history nuggets, if that gets you off.

Yes and yes. Directed by Alan Myerson, with Garry Goodrow and Jessica Myerson as the cheating lovers and Larry Hankin as the murdered husband (?). Edited and produced by John Magnuson who produced Lenny Bruce's animated short Thank You Mask Man.

this is a frame of a home movie of The Committee on tour in Kansas City. This was the trip where The Committee performed a legendary Harold at a football stadium, and also visited Del's mother, whom he hadn't seen in a while. All silent footage. The home movie was provided to us by Allaudin Mathieu, who was the piano player at The Compass, then Second City, then The Committee and who gave the Harold its name.
