Props In Improv
Props in Improv, as suggested by Katie Shutrump.
- Props should be something that they aren't. For example, a banana is actually a giant rocketship.
- If you decide to not use props in your show, please remove chairs, steps, and clothing from all scenes.
- Props are needed if you are doing an airplane scene from the olden days.
- If you need a prop to make a scene funny, go back to acting in plays.
- A dildo is not a prop, its an adult choice.
- Giving props during a show may disturb the scene. Wait till the show ends and then give everyone their props.
- Your teammates not in the scene are perfect props. Turn one into a toilet and take an improv poop. Audiences love that, especially at ComedySportz.
- Don't be a pussy and use a prop car on stage, get a real car on stage. That is more impressive.
- During 24 LIVE, Zach needed many props to keep him up on stage. We call those props Red Bull.
- Stop watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? and do some real improv.
