The scariest fun I've ever had.

yes, and...

I signed up for improv classes at The Hashtag Comedy Co. in Columbus because I wanted to try something new and a little terrifying.

Turns out I've always been a bit silly in my own way, and improv just gave it a stage. I'm now in Level 5, the final level, with our class showcase coming up this December.

What improv taught me

Four rules I now use everywhere.

01

Yes, and.

Accept what you're handed, then add something. Works on stage and in life.

02

Make your partner look good.

The scene is better when you're both shining.

03

Commit all the way.

Half-doing a bit is scarier than going for it.

04

Mistakes are gifts.

The best moments usually start with something going wrong.
