thestray 361 Posted May 31, 2013 I've noticed this is a common way for Matt to start scenes. For instance most often he'll be a teacher or school official and the other performers will be students who have been kicked out of class for being a disturbance, and Matt will ask them to one by one explain what their individual issues were. Comedy ensues. Â I've never studied improv so I was wondering if this is a common improv game or way into scenes, or if this is purely a Matt specific thing? Just curious. Either way it's pretty clever and always makes for some great heightening. Share this post Link to post
MichaelStanford 69 Posted May 31, 2013 They call them 'group games' in the improv world. There are a lot of different ways to do them, but I think on a podcast they kinda have to be overtly presentational like this. Â You should totally learn some improv! Your location says LA - why don't you take some classes? Â Me and a group of my friends have been teaching ourselves (I live in Southeast Missouri ), and it's a blast. Share this post Link to post
thestray 361 Posted May 31, 2013 Interesting, that's what I figured. Â Improv classes are definitely on my agenda when it's something I can afford. In the mean time I actually know a few people who have graduated from 401 UCB classes, so I'm going to incessantly bug them to teach me everything they know. Share this post Link to post
