Reviews
- Highly impactful
I have luckily only listened to a few episodes so far, so I still have a lot of this great podcast to listen to. I have jumped around a bit, but there are a lot of “real” moments in this podcast. Talk of insecurities and personal weaknesses that is helpful for a person like me in their first year of improv. more

This podcast goes deep with some of the best improvisers in the world. They talk about approach, comedy, theory... everything. Also, Stephen admitted to Besser that he listens to improv 4 humans on 1.5x speed, which is hilariously misguided. If you like improv, listen to this podcast!
