  • Best Podcast Ever

    One of the best Improv podcasts out there. Not only do they cover the history of improv comedy by interviewing the most important people in the genre but they also provide the most valuable insights on how to become a better improviser. Well worth the listen.

  • Great conversations about an elusive art

    Susie does a great job of following the conversation where it wants to go while also asking incisive questions. (One completely unnecessary “correction”: the note Mantzoukas referred to about “go to the big dance right away” I remember coming not from Armando but from Scot Armstrong. Scot said Feature Feature fell into that same trap a few times. I include it only to give Scot his props!)
