Benefit of the Doubt

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. When an audience comes to see an improv show, they already understand that you’re making everything up on the spot. So there’s no need to wink at the audience if you struggle to come up with an idea or stammer over a line. It’s better to attribute the flub to something that’s happening in the scene than to break the audience’s suspension of disbelief by turning a spotlight on it. We all know you’re making this up, but it’s better if no one can believe you’re making it up. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
