Improv is cool because you spend a lot of time pretending to be Daft Punk wanting to come clean about your identity, or a teenager wishing Kevin James was your dad, but also, it’s pretty good for you. Learning to have each other’s backs and be adaptable and all that.
If nothing else, it’s a more acceptable place for my smart-assery, so a year ago, I signed up for classes. Last night, my team had our graduation show!
Getting back into improv is something I had in mind for years. I loved doing it in high school & early college. But that was ages ago. Procrastination, pandemics, parenthood… you get it. But I’m lowkey grateful for the delays because it put me on the same track as my Metal People teammates. You make some great friends in the improv world and this squad exemplifies that.
We actually like each enough to be doing a bonus class as we launch as an indie team. We’ve got something like a half-dozen shows in the works over the next few months so stay tuned for some dates!
