The art of long-form improv ruined/explained by live commentary.

A special edition Play by Play where Isabella and Laney commentate on teams made up of their teachers and coaches – oh, and we’re making them do Harolds.

Imagine if long-form improv were a sport. Now imagine that this sport had two live commentators. And now imagine that these two commentators were as much of an improv nerd as the people doing it — naming every deep-cut improv move, strategy, historical precedent as the show continued! Would this make the improv more playful and accessible? Or does it make an already-niche activity completely inaccessible? You be the judge!

Hosted by Isabella Escalante and Laney Serface

Featuring: Beth Appel, Alex Berg, Julie Brister, Sarah Claspell, Will Hines, Jake Jabbour, James Mastraieni, Mike McLendon, Oscar Montoya, Jake Regal, Carl Tart, Rachel Van Nes
