Dan gets the chance to talk with sketch and improv artist Douglas Widick. They talk Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the difference between English and Scottish audiences, the relationship between improv and standup, making sure you “have an act” before you riff, the fun of watching a GOOD bomb, and theatre ghosts! Additionally, the fact that sometimes you're playing for an audience of three or a sold-out crowd, earning a laugh versus cheating one, and more!
