I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. Every time you wink at the audience by breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging that you’re doing this crazy improv scene, you’re undercutting the reality of the scene you’re creating. If executed well, it can certainly be very funny, but don’t let the reward of audience laughter get you in the habit of using it as a crutch. Not all of your scene partners will appreciate what they may rightfully see as a denial of the reality that they’ve done the work to create. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe, stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
