Everyone should know how to play improv comedy.
Improv comedy has a unique ability to bring people together, similar to the way musicians jam or athletes play ball. Just a few simple rules can bring people together in the most beautiful way. The first rule is: Yes And - to agree and build on what your scene partner has just done. And the best way to do that is by listening, and connecting, and communicating more intentionally with whoever we're with. This is important because we're already improvising in life, this just gives us a way to do it more intentionally while finding the truth in comedy.
How it works
I had been creating design thinking activities at IBM for 3 years, teaching people how to do things anytime, anywhere. At the same time, I was also taking improv comedy classes. I combined the two to create a card game that has all the elements of a great improv comedy class.
Show, don’t tell.
When it comes to demonstrating the subtle nuances of behavior, video is a powerful medium. During Covid, I collaborated with and directed my family to create these instructional videos, wrote a marketing script, and hired a contractor to do the voice over.
My role
Founder & Creative Director
This game took 3 years and 12 prototypes to get right.
That was the hardest part.
From there I had to design the packaging, find a manufacturer, work with them over 3 months, apply for a US Trademark, form an LLC to get it listed on Amazon, produce the videos, and create merch on yesandcardgame.com.
