A while ago I came across this quote on Miranda Hart’s Instagram feed and I thought it was such a great sentence that I have been keeping it safe to talk about on this feature – then I forgot about it! Well, today is that day that we look at this glorious quote from Miranda Hart that may help you with improv today.

Whilst this quote is about life in general, I think there is a lot that you can take away with you for the world of improv. The one thing that improv does is that it allows you to be playful and that can be hard to do but once you find it, that can really change the way you approach the comedy form and your outlook on life.

Improv is really fun and when you embrace it, you can have so much fun. The initial scare of improv is due to the fact it is such a different way of looking at the world and a different way of using your brain. Once you have understood the dynamics and the fundamentals you can really enjoy improv and it can do wonders to you. You can let go of your fears and become a glorious fool.

The most magical thing about improv is when you first get this feeling, for me it was on the first or second lesson I had learning improv. As soon as I understood that you had to let go of controlling your brain and the first time I did that it was a magical feeling. It felt amazing and so much fun! That is the wonder of improv, it allows you to play which we do not get to do in everyday life.
