The Value of Improv for Stand-Up Comedians

In Episode #43 of the “Messed-Up to Set-Ups” podcast, I talk with comedian Chrysalis Goring about the dynamic world of improv and the benefits of it for stand-up comedians. Also, Chrysalis shares her journey from stage combat to stand-up, revealing how her background in acting and improv has equipped her with the confidence to engage audiences in real-time. We also discuss the challenges and rewards of balancing scripted jokes with spontaneous crowd interactions, and learn why crowd work is becoming an essential skill for modern comedians. Tune in for a fun discussion filled with fun, insights, and a few laughs along the way. Watch on YouTube HERE.
