When it comes to weird things to do and to enjoy, Improv theatre is something that is fun for everyone. You might not be too sure as to what it is that I am talking about? So here is an example of what I mean by improv comedy and what great improv comedians do.

That was Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles in a game called “Greatest Hits” where the two of them have to sell the audience CDs based on an audience suggestion. So for example the audience could suggest “Tax Lawyers” and then the two performers would have to talk about these great CDs with songs all about tax lawyers. It could then cut to the two other performers who would then have to sing and perform these non-existent tax lawyer songs, right off the top of their head. Ryan and Colin have been doing improv forever and so they make it look so easy but when you are starting off it isn’t easy but it is definitely fun.

Locally we have some improv places, the main one that I know of is the Improv Centre. Improv doesn’t have to be practiced in any special place. It can be in your living room with some friends, just reading the games off your phone and giving them a shot. Improv is something that I love doing, I started when I was sixteen and it is one of the best tools for working on conversation, public speaking, creativity, and so much more. It can really help you to see just how fast you can come up with crazy things that you never thought you would think of. It doesn’t have to be funny, all it has to be is authentic and fun for you. That is why people love improv is that it is always a good time, because you have control over what you do in the game.
