There’s always 100 reasons not to do something scary, nevermind adding an audience to the equation.

This year I decided to bite the bullet and signed up for long-form improvisation classes at the Gaiety School of Acting.

I’ll be on a stage. Speaking. Out loud. Off the cuff. Hoping people laugh.

My inner giraffe is FREAKING OUT.

A natural performer

My entire stage experience to date comprises one line in a Transition Year play, which was cut. Everything bodes well for my return to the stage.

This week I went to my first class. There were about 15 of us, nervous but excited, getting to know each other. We touched ankles (all the rage in the ice-breaking world), and played games where we finished each other’s words and sentences.

The two pieces of advice about improv I took away from the class were:

1. Don’t try to be funny;

2. Always try to make your partner look good (and they’ll do the same for you).

We were told that some people try to go for an immediate laugh, but that long-form improv is not about that. It’s different to stand-up comedy and short-form improv such as that performed in shows like Whose Line is it Anyway?
