Listening In Improvisational Comedy

On behalf of Expert Village, this is Paul Zuckerman with the cast of Chicago City Limits here in New York City, and today we're going to show you some techniques for improvisational comedy. Improvisers don't work with a script, so it's very important that the actors are listening to each other. Listening isn't just hearing what people say, it's understanding the intent of what they're trying to say. Your sister called this morning. Bad news right? You can tell me. Well, I mean, you know. She said that things are okay between....You don't want to tell me what it is. You're scared to tell me. Well, she's not happy in her marriage, you know, so she came to me for advice. She always comes to you, doesn't she? I can relate to what she has to say. Don't you think there is a connection between her unhappiness in her marriage and how accessible you are to her? The fact is that I want to be more accessible to her. I want her to have full access, 24/7 kind of access. And you expect me to just okay that, don't you? You think I'm going to give up everything we have? No, I don't think so, but I think I am. See ya.
