First of all I want to say Im a big believer that if something isnt broken then dont try and fix it. However, as an accountant Im programmed to think, if something is good then how can it be better..?

Improv Thursday nights have been sooo cool and I've learned a lot. Last week was really good, there was a good vibe and the love was there. The story tag game flowed great and I had more fun cos the guys were relaxed and were just chilling out.

One thing we did more of was teasing the guy in the middle and not tag him for a bit and this happened to me which forced me to keep on talking by moving the subject on. This has always been my weak point - im crap at the small talk/chit chat.

But because it went better last week it got me thinking... How can it always be great, or - how can it be better. I think it would help me and maybe some of the other guys to have a new bit at the end of the story tag game where we have to talk for 1-2 minutes alone and struggle on to re-programme our brains to seek out new conversation and improve flow.

So I want to open this up for discussion and see what they guys think or if there are any other ideas people have.

Also I want to make it clear that I am not a free loader and I want to thank the guys that make Improv happen as it takes a lot of effort to sort out. If I can help out in anyway then let me know as I want to give back to the community too.

(P.s - If this has already been discussed then can someone redirect me to the thread.)

Dolphin- you can practise improv on your own at home too, pick random objects up at home and become an expert in them!!


Namaste sinstyle.

You guys are lucky to have that on your doorstep man!

Cheers sin, but its different with a group of people as you've got all the factors in play. Body language, attention spans live feed back etc..

Summer - why don't you form a group near you. A lot of the improv stuff is about havin a laugh and its easy to learn.

Kowalski- the 2 girls that I invited to improv loved it and want to come again.

just had 5000 leaflets printed for my own venture!! the guy who design's them for me also owns the printers, his prices are spot on.

Namaste sinstyle.

K-ster - cool, looking forward to playing out again!! Not heard of this weekend Improv tho, hmmm...

Lovin the idea of bringing outsiders to improv to spice it up - ill look through my black book... where is that thing... hehe!!

Send me more info on your facebook page when its up and running and i'll send it on!

Kiss kiss

Ahhhhhh, looks coooool!

I'll pick your brains on this at Thursday improv.

Curiouser and curiouser....

Enjoy sinstyle.

I can do some flyers as that's what I do for a job anyway.

I think it's a good idea to take it further away from pick up, I think people don't bring anyone along because it's very pick up orientated at the moment and they don't want them to be exposed to that. I think SBD impromptu talk on pick up didn't help and maybe cemented in peoples minds that it was linked closely to pick up. Whereas it is helpful in pick up its also it's own entity and doesn't have to be connected with it.

Funny you mentioned it cos I texted K today about the same sentiment. I wonder if people outside will know that majority of the guys are in the community when they attend Improv. We do mention some of the PUA stuffs in the session. Example: what if you decide to bring your girlfriend there and she's asking how you know these guys?

ON a side note, I know I attend once but I will make an effort to be there when I can.

Any thoughts chaps?

Sinstyle - any feedback from your two female friends who attend on this issue?
