## Resource

In this episode of the Art of Bombing presents: Between Bombs, Dan and Larry call back episode 317 with Douglas Widick. They break down earning a laugh versus cheating a laugh (many examples arise), and how building synergy in an improv group is similar to building synergy with the audience. The two of them dive deep into the importance of having the act before going off script, Dan shares his thoughts on why stand-ups should consider taking improv classes, and theatre ghosts! If you have a spooky story, send it in or post it on the Bomb Squad Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17EGMwazis/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-art-of-bombing-a-comedy-podcast--5788059/support .
