From Paris to New York and everything in between
“Besides the amount of time it takes to generate ideas, the essential difference is how deeply collaborative truly great improv must be. (…)
An art form without an author, improv comedy is sometimes compared to a high-wire act, but truly to understand the level of difficulty, imagine a team of tightrope walkers chained together. Then every few seconds one daredevil must make a sudden, dramatic move.”

Loved that Zinoman was at Stepfathers and also caught Zach’s “Human Apology” line, I tweeted that shit!
Fun article. The Times hiring Zinoman as a comedy beat reporter is the gift that keeps on giving.
This bit is lovely. I’m still kicking myself in the ass for missing The Stepfather’s magical show.
