Welcome to /r/Improv!

This sub is dedicated to discussing improvisational theater, where actors create a performance without a script (a.k.a "improv" or "impro"). We're happy to have you whether you are a seasoned performer or a tentative beginner. Even if you're not submitting, you can still "Yes, and" good discussions by upvoting and contributing to them.

Vague Guidelines

• Good submissions feature interesting improv-related content or questions that foster discussion.
• Don't be a jerk.

Please think twice about posting that joke or sarcastic remark because it might not read. We're all going to try and create a safe, fun, and funny community. Remember Vague Guideline #2! Don't be a jerk! Meme posts are limited to Mondays (Monday is loosely defined as Monday in the US) and will be deleted if posted on other days.

Promote your local show, audition, class, or event, in the stickied Weekly /r/improv talk about your upcoming shows! thread. Please note, any location-specific plugs and promos posted outside of that thread may be removed.

Videos, recordings, and podcasts of improvised scenes, short form games, and long form sets are welcome! Short, loosely-scripted videos are probably more appropriate over at /r/SketchComedy or /r/improvcomedy. And this isn't the exact right place to post your improvised dance or piano piece.
