Improv: Recent Episodes
Bob Kodzis and Nick Georgoudiou
It's the last episode (for now) with Ryan Goodwin. There's a lot of ground covered in this episode, including touring with his band Raspberry Pie, going in for a stage audition at SAK Comedy Lab, and Ryan gives the best advice on how to have fun and be happy.
Nick has a question for Bob and Ryan (and you). What's the best way to react when someone calls your name? Also, how do you get more people to call out your name?
Bob and Nick sit down with Ryan Goodwin again, and they found out he's very much into Dungeons and/or Dragons. Turns out there are a lot of parallels between the worlds of D&D and improv!
Bob and Ryan discuss the pros and cons of being on script, or setlist, versus going full improv. If you're delivering the same performance over and over again, how do you keep things new and interesting?
Bob discusses seeing Chase Padgett's shows, the one that was at Fringe and the one that was on Fox. But first, Bob talks about a recent volunteer opportunity with the Special Olympics Shine Squad.
Bob and Nick take a look back at their Fringe show. We had amazing support from Ryan Goodwin for music and Emika Martin on the technical side. We also discuss the wonderful world of improv classes at SAK Comedy Lab.

We're going to try something new on Tuesdays! This episode features three past conversations on one of our favorite topics: Improv. How does it affect our love lives? What was it like for Bob to get back on stage in a pandemic world? And who would do better with "yes and," a dog or a cat?
Bob leads an improv class for people who take care of themselves and others.

Nick tells Bob a story about accidentally taking a SAK Comedy Lab class with Kevin McDonald (of Kids in the Hall). He didn't take the class by accident, he just didn't know it was a performance class.
One of the things Bob enjoys the most is teaching people improv. How does that work in the time of COVID-19 though? He covered someone's class and found out!

Talking horror movies leads to a discussion of what scares Bob. Loneliness. Boredom. You know, the usual fears for an improv performer and public speaker.
