Hello improv friends!

Here's another improv newsletter of online improv stuff. Yay! I've enjoyed streaming some really fun shows from Dynasty Typewriter lately, and also started digging into old Varietopia and SponTourCo shows on Vimeo (on demand). Fun stuff, good learning!

This podcast from Improv4Humans also made me laugh (couple weegis teachers... and fun band, too).

If you know of anyone running online improv, please let them know they can list their events free on this site and they can be added to this newsletter! Register for the site, and then you can add and modify your events at any time. All of it is free for the community to keep online improv alive and running!
