Improvised comedy is a relatively new art form that exists in most improvisational theaters, comedy clubs and festivals.

Both long and short forms of improvisation convey the message to the audience that they, together with the actors, are one whole. How do you improvise? Just treat viewers like family members.

Steps

1. 1 Find an improvisation partner (optional). You can also come up with improvisation alone. You can improvise comedy, however, improvisation is an art form that is the result of groupthink and group consciousness.
2. 2 Speak. The only way to practice creating scenes in front of the audience is to create them in front of the audience. As a result of powerful chemical processes in the body, usually mistakenly referred to as "stage fright", your body receives an additional rush of adrenaline. And if you use the power of your perception, your feelings in this situation will intensify. Improvisation is the only way to learn this lesson.
3. 3 Agree. The first thing you should do when you improvise is say, "Yes, and ...". You don't just agree with what your improvisation partner just said, you add more information. These can be things like details of an object or situation you are in, or reactions to your partner's response to what you just did. If your partner says something completely awkward, at least reluctantly agree. "Okay, I'll do it. Stabbing yourself in the thigh sounds silly, but it's a small price to pay to get into the Fellowship."
4. 4 Correct the situation. During improvisation, mistakes happen and information gets confused and illogical, so if there is conflicting or absurd information, give it a meaning. If something defies logic, explain why it is. "Uncle Jess was in the dining room under the X-ray machine." "I know it's dangerous, but it makes me feel tingling all over my body."
5. 5 Make great offers. Be generous and open. If someone offers you something during the introduction, accept the offer as if it is the best idea you have ever seen. Convey your energy, convey your passion, convey your fear, your hope. Do not let your ears go.
6. 6 Do not hurry. Now that you are aware of the abundance of energy and innovation, you realize that you have enough time and can improvise quickly and slowly. Since we are talking about speed, you should notice that the "fast scenes" were usually played very slowly, but were established very quickly. An offer is submitted and immediately accepted, and that is something that gets done quickly. Playing around the details is as slow as possible.And sometimes, when two improvisers do not endure in the same type of synergy, the performance should be o-w-n-m-e-d-l-e-n-s-m.
7. 7 Get used to it. If you are actually acting, get into the scene, create a believable and powerful image, and you are going to reward the audience. Ironic detachment is the worst thing you can think of, and jokes about your image are a quick way to get your audience out of your way. If you get used to the image of your character, the chosen one and the stage partner, funny things will come out easier and more organic.

Tips

• Be grateful to other actors like, "Ah, Aunt Betty! The party in this basement is fantastic." The character Aunt Betty must then admit that you are Joe's cousin or someone else.
• You are in constant motion. You can't create good improvisations just by standing still. Follow the rule: if you move, the audience feels like you are really talking to them, not ignoring. These are: who, what, where.
• Whenever possible, avoid silly jokes and profanities. Gay jokes have long been outdated and bored with everyone! Many people are brought up to disapprove of this kind of thing. So don't do anything like that in front of an audience unless you are completely sure that the audience will take it okay.
• Watch other people's improvisations. You can learn a lot by watching both good and bad improvisations. The best options for both performances will be available to you.
• As you play entertaining plays, remember the key words: agree, expand, and move forward.
• Sign up with a friend for a free workshop. Some theaters (there are not many) organize free classes to advertise their upcoming performances.
• Train your speech and practice behaviorism. Everyone has a relative with whom you can grimace and whom you can parody (of course, if he is not nearby).
• Try not to come up with too sharp statements or something complicated. The first idea is the most important. However, if you plan something, you may miss out on a good idea that your partner might give you. Think freely.
• Watch the TV series 'So, whose cue is now' to search for new ideas.
• Don't think.

Warnings

• Don't come face to face with your stage partner; it will confuse the audience and make them think you are just talking. Instead, face the audience and stand side by side with your partner. This way, the audience will not get confused and will see your funny faces, which are considered the key to good improvisation!
• Never let the viewer see your eyes. Improvisation is about gestures and formats.
• Wear clothes the same color as your stage partner. This will emphasize to the audience that you are on the same team. Green is a good color for clothing, as it has been scientifically proven to create comfort and make viewers laugh more.
• Don't say NO, always accept other people's suggestions. If you ignore the player's suggestion, then you have no choice but to argue about who is right and who is wrong in the performance. Then it will become completely boring, as it will lose support.
• Never turn your back on your partner and use eye contact to connect. Eye contact is the grammar for consent language.
• Try not to use handheld microphones. Although it sounds strange, sometimes you have to use both hands in improvisation. Since this performance is full of coincidences, you never know what will happen or what you will end up doing. If you have a microphone in your hands, it can be a big hindrance to your performance.
• NEVER try to get the best of what your audience is saying. They are ready to make you new suggestions, and they should complement your presentation.
• Avoid questions.You won't look like Hitler for asking a question, but you can easily turn a question into a statement. Instead of asking, “Do you think we should go to the park?” Turn that question into a statement. We talk this way so often in real life that it will not only help you avoid questions, but it will also sound natural and remind viewers that you haven't rehearsed this at all and are speaking quite naturally.
