I noticed your post a while ago saying that you wanted to do another show. Not only is that a good idea, but I believe it to be...

dangurewitch:
What if improv only had two rules: 1. Make each other right and make big decisions & assumptions until something fun happens. 2. Follow and expand upon that fun thing, fearlessly and without looking back, together.

Anyway, I actually had to tip-toe to “reach”...
