Playlists by feature<\/a>: mapping, Harolds, heightening, parody, etc. – playlists on YouTube<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jimmy and Johnny: * 21 Feb. 2021 with (FB)<\/a>; 17 Jan 2021 (FB)<\/a>; <\/p>\n\n\n\n John Hildreth yes the heck and-ing with Jay Sukow<\/a> – They are on Zoom. They talk a little about teaching and improving over Zoom vs. in person (Sukow teaches through Second City LA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n that Assscat video with Amy Poehler<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n UCB Characters Welcome<\/strong><\/a> – *A pretty good one seemingly done on Zoom<\/a> – Mona Lisa<\/a> – Two trench coats in a kid<\/a> – Every Gray’s Anatomy surgery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids in the Hall has a bunch<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bamf – I think Maria Bamford deserves a cool nickname, so I’m going to call her The Bamf. For fun female characters, she’s good, plus she kind of is an interesting character whenever she’s talking on stage (Colbert)<\/a> . When your boss…<\/a> – Smile for me<\/a> (mentions doing different voices) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tracey Ullman<\/a> – Haven’t seen the links in that page yet, but I don’t want to forget about Tracey Ullman. Some of her more recent characters<\/a>; some of the older stuff might be interesting for contrasting with what we’re used to now: Fern Rosenthal<\/a> – <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kate McKinnon – [note to self – how distinct are her characters from each other?]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compare and contrast: This Ullman sketch<\/a>, “Angela Merkel’s poker face problem” is really good – her scene partner does well also; plays two roles in Angela Merkel vs. her wannabe<\/a>; Ullman does Merkel with a crush<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n McKinnon as Merkel one (end of 2016)<\/a> – On being the peacekeeper<\/a> – Saucy and crushing on Obama<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Invisible spy<\/a> (A Black Lady Sketch Show) – I LOVE this concept – a regular-looking woman being invisible in sketch land<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad Bitch Support Group <\/a>– multiple women characters together, fairly recent – noticing the differences between the characters is interesting<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids in the Hall “Can I Keep Him<\/a>” (mapping example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Talent Fairy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ze Frank: The Angler Fish<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Randall”: The Honey Badger<\/a> (“Honey badger don’t care; honey badger just takes what it wants”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oz du Soleil: An Excel Meditation with Tables, XLOOKUP, Dynamic Arrays in a Dynamic Dropdown List Solution<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Off Book<\/a> <\/strong>– <\/p>\n\n\n\n Follows the adventures of Arnie Niekamp, who fell through a magical portal behind a Burger King and into the mystical realm of Foon. Each week, he interviews different characters he meets in the world, beaming up the results to us listeners via a very weak Wi-Fi signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan apparently solve riddles and puzzles and\/or improvise. Looking forward to listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Improv is Dead<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n callout episode: ep. 16: American Hero<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jimmy Carrane interviews improvisers – including famous and semi-famous ones – about improv, and does an improv set with each of them. This is how I learned that one of my SC teachers was seriously into Zen Buddhism and another one interviewed Dell Close for a school project. There are a lot of episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because I don’t want to make a separate post – <\/p>\n\n\n\n “support”<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the word may need a helping word when talking about support in improv. Otherwise — is it just a synonym for ‘good improv’? Or, when used as a verb, a synonym for ‘do something to make a scene better’ (which is legit, but I’d like to have that confirmed)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘supporting the scene’<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘supporting the other player(s)’<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘being a supporting character’ (as contrasted with being the main\/driving character)<\/p>\n\n\n\nimprov videos – socially distanced (tr\u00e8s modern)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
