In improv and theatre sports, one of the first concepts you learn is "Yes, and" -- the idea that you accept what your scene partner is offering, or building, and you built on it with them (rather than rejecting their work and/or trying to control the scene). This is the heart of good improv.

The opposite of "Yes, and" is "No (/but), or blocking, where you reject what your partner is doing and obliterate their work. It stops a scene dead (and makes others not want to work with you). 1/n

Performed in an improv show in Shoreditch.

Good times.

Everyone seemed to think the show went well, and it featured repeated themes of fish taking over the entire world in a giant conspira-sea.

The venue downstairs at Shoreditch Balls is tight and dark and small but so were our audience. Thanks for coming everyone. 😆

Where does the group go from here? Dunno. Hard to find a venue for rehearsal in London really. Everywhere is either booked up or closed down. Makes you wonder why the closed down ones had to close given the apparent demand.

Fingers crossed we find somewhere 🤞

Do you want to see me perform in an Improv show?

You can you know. You can do it in Shoreditch in London in the UK on Sunday.

Dunno what the show will be about, obviously. Some short games, couple of longer stories. But we need YOU there to tell us what it's about.

What else in London is free? Nothing, that's what.
