The nanonanofilm Improv Comedy Podcast

This week I chat with the wonderful improviser (and ruddy good friend!), Emily Joy, to find out what her improv comedy journey has been like to date, what things she finds challenging and what aspects she loves about the art form. (Part 1).

Someone asked me recently "how do you know when do finish your improv scene?" In this episode I explore some of my weaknesses in ending improv sets and what I could think about next time.

Questions in Improv are typically a "no-go". This week I carry on my thinking around the similarities between improv on stage and in the office and wonder if questions are also unhelpful at work too. 

This week, I get in conversation with my We Are Dave co-improviser (and all round great guy) Lewis Hill to understand a bit more about his improv journey to date. (Part 1)

Having talked about Audience Awareness in Improv sets before, I've realised that extends out into everyday life. I've had some recent examples in my work where I've been unaware that the audience is watching.(Part image taken from pngtree.com)

I recently read a great Substack entry by the improviser Molly Thomas on "hacks" in improv scenes. It made me think; yep, I do hack lines. This week, I go through which ones I've done!

We Are Dave got Elodie Foray in to give us a removed, external observer's view of our rehersal. Here's some of the best feedback I got.

We recently did our second We Are Dave 1-hour improv comedy show. What are the key things I learnt that I need to incorporate in future about doing shows?
