What is long form improv?
Short-form improv involves quick, self-contained scenes, often based on a single suggestion or game with an emphasis on punchlines. It’s fast, it’s funny, and you’re constantly hopping from one game to the next! Think: Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Long-form improv focuses on more expansive, narrative-driven scenes made up on the spot, absurd storylines, deeper characters and quick witted humor. It’s kind of like a big, playful collaboration that culminates in a shared experience. And anyone can do it!
Think: Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Office
