I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Be specific. Your 1988 blue Honda Accord is much funnier than your car. The more specificity you bring to a scene, the more vividly you’re painting the stage picture, and the more clearly you’re communicating your idea to your scene partners and to the audience. Clarity of communication in improv is always a good thing. As a bonus, most human beings love feeling smart, and an audience that knows a reference is going to be in a great mood to laugh, because they’re feeling good about feeling smart. So name the meal you’re eating, tell me what color suit you’re wearing, and let me know me know what song you’re dancing to. That’s your improv tip for the day. If you have a rehearsal, class, audition, or show tonight, break a leg, and I will see you next time.
