This is probably the most excited I have been for an IAMA since I joined Reddit. I have been taking improv for the past few months and it has really had a huge impact on my life. I recently came across this video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cq1Ab-LLwXA) and it was really one of the most helpful things out there.

Anyways a couple of questions:

1) When people think of improv, the very first thing that they think of is Who’s Line is it Anyways. But as you mentioned in that video, the show was more focused on getting quick laughs than building a scene. While I’m a huge fan, do you think it acts as a good representation of what improv is?

2) Do you think improv will ever really get as popular as stand up? While you have comedians that get famous just by doing standup, you hardly see the same happening for improv. Usually they use their improv skills to complement an acting career. Why do you think improv hasn’t become as ‘mainstream’ as standup?

3) Your favourite form of long form improv?

And here's where the problem lies with the Reddit majority opinion. They are swayed to either side, very easily.

Someone posts a sob story and everyone starts donating. Someone mentions it may be fake and everyone gets their pitchforks out in seconds.

The truth is that it is very hard to know that either way. So just keep that in mind. I'm not in anyway implying that OP may be a fake. Not at all.

BUT there have been plenty of fakes in the past. In fact this time of the year, there are usually atleast a couple. Just be aware of that.

Consider OP to be honest when asking questions. But when making any monetary decisions, just be aware of past instances.

Wow, then that first piss must have really been something!

Awesome! Yeah, reddit usually does come up with some original questions instead of the usual repetitive nonsense.

By the way, would you deal with one horse sized PR interns or hundred duck sized PR interns?
