This audiobook makes the world of improv feel less scary and more approachable as well as genuinely enjoyable (even if I suffer from stage fright). It clearly explains key principles like saying yes and adding to ideas, helping build confidence through simple steps. I especially appreciated the breakdown of warm up games and group trust-building activities, which made the process feel supportive and fun. The solo exercises are creative and useful for building quick thinking even without a partner. The section on managing stage anxiety offers real, down to earth advice.
