Mischief Managed Episode 38 – "Failures"

from Mischief Improv · host David Escobedo

I talk about my failures, and specific ones in the last few weeks. "Struggle" has always been a part of improv – either as the scene on stage or off stage as part of the company/team. We don't talk about it too much because we avoid vulnerability and we want "brand trust." If I run a team, I want people to trust we are going to be successful every show. If run an improv company, I want students/audience members to trust my product and talking about failure *may* challenge that. I talk about "armchair consultants" and the specific things I've tried! And have lost money and time on…. … but that doesn't mean I won't try again.

Spout Lore Spout Lore Studios Spout Lore is a hilarious Actual Play podcast using the Dungeon World game system, brought to life by four award-winning comedians in Canada. If you're looking for a collaborative storytelling experience that balances high fantasy with side-splitting improv comedy, you’ve found it. Join three "mighty" "heroes" (Tuk the Barbarian, Vyng the half-elf Druid, and Fat Billie the nine-year-old Halfling Thief) as they bumble through a post-magic world. This is a rules-light, character-driven journey where the setting is made up on the fly; evolving from ancient hotdog-based festivals to mythic beasts of terrible power. Whether you’re a TTRPG veteran or a fan of D&D comedy podcasts like The Adventure Zone, NADDPOD, or Dimension 20, you’ll feel right at home at our table. Improv Nerd With Jimmy Carrane Jimmy Carrane Well-known improv teacher and former Studio 312 host Jimmy Carrane explores the creative processes used to make great comedy. The End of Time and Other Bothers Fable and Folly Productions An improvised fantasy roleplaying game set in the world of Alba Salix, Royal Physician. We use the Dungeon World roleplaying system and improv to weave a tale of flightless fairies, half-demons and cafeteria line workers, dystopian empires, magical waterfalls and mysterious books. Oh, and the end of time—that's in there somewhere too. Firsthand Devin Field and Greg Gallant Ever wonder what really happened during history's most famous moments? Comedians Greg Gallant (Velma, UCB) and Devin Field (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central) "recount" their totally real, definitely-not-made-up roles in modern history's biggest events. From iconic moments to bizarre backstories, join them and a cast of fellow "eyewitnesses" as they rewrite modern history. If you love improv, comedy, and wild stories, this podcast is your new favorite "history" lesson.
