Bad Improv Gun

When you’re manipulating an improvised object, it should look just like you’re manipulating a real object, but you can’t see the object.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. One of my favorite improv teams I’ve played with is called Bad Improv Gun. It’s named after the way some rookie improvisers form a gun, by pointing their index finger in front of them and their thumb up in the air. Bad Improv Phone would be sticking your thumb in your ear and talking into your pinky finger. When you’re manipulating an improvised object, it should look just like you’re manipulating a real object, but you can’t see the object. Don’t use bad improv guns. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
