  • PvI#91: Community Breakdown (or Breakdance?) w/ Nick Armstrong
    Apr 13 2025
    Mark and Bill are joined by the actor/improviser who directs Camp Improv Utopia and is involved in managing improv spaces such as Denver's Rise Comedy. We talk about the notion of community, with a scene about the neighborhood watch and a return to Empty Street to deal seriously in a public-service-announcement/after-school special sort of way with the issue of buying liquor underage. How does one foster a supportive improv community? Can we develop a community of returning Empty Street cast members? You can choose to watch this discussion on unedited video. In the post-game, Mark and Bill talk briefly about people who can't sympathize beyond their immediate circle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • PvI#89: Improv 4 Change w/ Shawn and Aaron from srsly wrong
    Feb 19 2025
    Mark and Bill are joined by two north-of-the-border podcasters, Shawn Vulliez and Aaron Moritz, who incorporate both improv and philosophy in their dirty leftist podcast. We simulate conversation as competing knowers-of-the-good-life and talk about using improv for political purposes. Note that this was recorded back in December when we were in the thick of Luigi Mangione fever and not yet consumed with daily Presidential antics. Watch this on unedited video.
