Giving Suggestions

The improvisers onstage would much prefer a suggestion they've never heard before than hear the same jokey suggestions they always get.

I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. When you do improv, you’re necessarily going to end up spending quite a bit of time watching improv. When I’m in the audience, I try not to give suggestions, if possible, so as to avoid the appearance of cheating. However, you might have to give a suggestion every once in a while. When you’re in the audience, remember it's not your job to be funny. The improvisers onstage would much prefer a suggestion they've never heard before than hear the same jokey suggestions they always get. Do them a favor and give them a suggestion you’ve never heard before. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, love each other, and I will see you next time.
