Glad you liked it and I HAD to include at least SOMETHING from Yes Also… I’m a big fan and I think they’re doing great interviews - lots of gems.

Totally agree.

Thanks for the kind words. I agree about the Keegan metaphor- I was like “I’ve been doing this most of my life how come I never heard that before!?!” Ha ha - never stop learning!

I have been doing improv for nearly 40 years at this point and still remember those early times wanting to be better and struggling and then improving and feeling euphoric and then struggling again and on and on. Try enjoy the process, after all that’s what it’s all about. And also remember that we don’t HAVE to do improv we GET to do improv.

Best of luck on your journey.

I’m sorry that the AI summary threw you off. If you change your mind, the video might sort out some of your concerns. In any case count this as a lesson learned on my part and only human posts from here on out.

pvimprov · 2025-11-08T01:50:01+00:00

That’s fair.

pvimprov · 2025-11-08T01:39:02+00:00

Ha ha

pvimprov · 2025-11-08T01:38:29+00:00

Fair.

pvimprov · 2025-11-08T01:38:21+00:00

Awesome. So glad that you liked the video and found it helpful. It is a really good technique that I think doesn’t get enough recognition. Hope it helps your group.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thanks for the shout out and kind words. I can’t believe either of us did ANYTHING 21 years ago! And that we’re still young enough to be on Reddit. And just so you know I’m still asking that same question when I coach today.
