Take the Suggestion

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Don’t betray the audience’s trust by throwing away suggestions. If you don’t get a “good” suggestion, part of that might be how you’re asking for suggestions, but occasionally you’re just going to get a bad suggestion. However, the good news is that you are an improviser. You can make something out of any suggestion and, yes, that includes even the ones that are racist, sexist, or childish. Making something brilliant out of a “bad” suggestion is more respectful of the audience’s trust than throwing that suggestion away or pretending you didn’t hear it. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
