It’s Friday ya’ll and I’m still wearing sweatpants


A lot of improv is happening and did happen this week. Super pumped for Performance Level classes. Yesterday’s class was insane. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in months.

Improv for the past few months has felt like a chore. Something I was struggling to stay positive with and something that seemed like it was lacking a crucial component. I didn’t realize what that missing piece was until last night’s class: being playful with no judgment.

It’s so freeing as an adult to let loose and let whatever shit your brain is thinking play out in front of you. Sometimes when I do improv I feel like I blackout until I hear laughter. Losing yourself in being goofy and silly is immensely gratifying. Getting to play and use your imagination is such an overlooked skill and it makes me sad for people who don’t do improv.

I love improv because it’s one of the few places where being yourself will get you honest laughs. Thank god too. I couldn’t imagine not having this kind of outlet.
