Improv Quotes

The problem with improv is that you’re letting an idiot tell you what to do Picture Quote #1

In jazz improv, there is no such thing as wrong notes, only notes that are better chosen and it’s not about the note you play, it’s about the note you play next Picture Quote #1

I love doing improv. I love comedy. I have always felt this way, even when I was really young Picture Quote #1

You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail Picture Quote #1
