In this episode, Phil and Céline are joined by Dan, a fellow improviser who brings stories, insights, and plenty of laughs about what improv really means, on stage and in life.
Together, they explore:
Getting started with improv: Dan shares how he first stepped into the world of “Yes, And” and what kept him coming back.
Improv beyond comedy: Why it’s not just about being funny, but about listening, adapting, and building trust.
Structure vs. freedom: How rules and constraints can unlock creativity—or sometimes get in the way.
Mistakes and risk-taking: Why “bad” scenes can be the best teachers, and how silliness opens the door to connection.
Improv as a mirror for life: How Dan brings the improv mindset into work, relationships, and everyday challenges.
This conversation is full of anecdotes, reflections, and playful moments that reveal improv’s deeper impact.
