Improvise to the Suggestion

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Make sure that you improvise to the suggestion, not to the ask-for. Let me explain. If you ask the audience for the topic of their most-recent nightmare, and your first scene is about a nightmare, guess what? You’re cheating. The audience didn’t suggest a nightmare, you created that suggestion for yourself in your ask-for. As best as you can, eject the ask-for from your mind right after it’s said, and only improvise to the suggestion. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
