Episode 555. The Improv Nerd

“Jimmy Carrane is an improviser, teacher, and creator/host of “The Improv Nerd with Jimmy Carrane” Podcast, and last week he sat down with me on a beautiful Chicago morning to chat with me about his improv and performing philosophies. Featuring great teaching tools, the value of details and specificity vs. frantic invention, long-form scenic improv vs. short-form games (like on Whose Line Is It, Anyway?), a fantastic theatrical moment, the greatness of live improv, and the difference between — and value of — both the process and the product.
