## Resource

Brittany Taylor---Improv Guru and Instructor---- joins Mike and Chris to yes-and their brains into shape with a crash course in all things improv: the formulas, the frameworks, and the wonderfully weird archetypes (pirates vs. ninjas). Brittany breaks down what happens when people try improv for the first time—those classic beginner pitfalls like freezing, plot-dumping, apologizing, or trying to “be funny” instead of letting the funny happen. She walks us through how improv skills translate directly to stand-up like staying fully committed to the bit even when your brain is whispering “run.” We dig into the mental side of vulnerability, why audiences can feel it when you’re all-in. Brittany also explains the improv techniques every comic should steal.
