Today's episode is with Philly improviser and instructor, Matt Holmes, of the Philly Improv Theater as well as at the Good Good Comedy Theatre! Matt has performed and taught at various national improv festivals like the Del Close Marathon, the Boston Improv festival, and the Chicago Improv Festival. Jason and Matt talk about Matt's renowned improv show, "Matt &," where Matt picks an audience member up to do a two-person show with. Aside from talking at length about that show, they chat about instruction and the basics of performing improv. It's an insightful discussion about improv for beginners, players who feel a little stuck, instructors, and those who want to develop their own show.

No. 34 - Improv and Strangers with Matt Holmes

This week I talk to some of the fine folks at American Improv Theatre (AIT) in California, founder Jeff Ringgold and teacher/performers, Amy Shank and Chris Shurland.

This episode was a scream to record!  We chat about AIT being haunted (and Amy finds out for the first time!), improv and audiences in the Bay Area and balancing improv with having other real world jobs.

And we question why ghosts never wear crop tops.
