Horror... and an Improv Jam with Keri (not a horror jam! That one is comedy!) - #51

Newsletter #51: Online jams, improv resources, and a little bit of horror comedy - Update for October 31st, 2024.

Gradient text that reads hello improvisers!

Greetings improvisers! This is the same old newsletter, but it’s now coming at you from ImprovUpdate.com. It’s the same Improv Update from Flat Improv, just coming from its own domain. No changes. You don’t need to do anything, as you can see.

But expect the same kind of stuff in here. Improv jams, livestreams, resources to help you learn/perform improv, and related stuff to check out to help a little bit with your practice.

Or just enjoy improv.

Stuff like that.

The 51st newsletter, by the way!

In this week's newsletter you will find:

  • A new podcast episode on Beneficial and Inclusive Icebreakers in comedy classes, and a new name for the Neurodiversity & Improv podcast.

  • A great upcoming Online Improv Jam with Keri.

  • An Audio Drama for Halloween you can listen to - now! For Halloween!
