Pretty Much Pop #20: Improv Comedy w/ Tim Sniffen

from The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · host Mark Linsenmayer

What role does improv comedy play in popular culture? It's deployed by certain film directors (e.g. Christopher Guest), in some of the TV work of Larry David, Robin Williams, et al. But only a rare show like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" makes it obvious. Is this art form doomed to live on the fringes of entertainment? Mark, Erica, and Brian are joined by Tim Sniffen to discuss different types of improv, how it relates to other arts, its self-help angle, Second City, and more. For more, visit prettymuchpop.com.
