Matt Holmes is a 15+ year improv veteran, co-founder of renowned Philadelphia improv team Rare Bird Show, and creator of Matt &, a show in which he improvises a 20- to 45-minute long form set with an audience member who has never done improv before. The show has enthralled me every time I've seen it, enough that I helped bring him to Pittsburgh and enjoyed lots of shop talk at my kitchen table. It took a few months to get him on the show. Matt and I talk about the fascinating strategy he has to prepare to improvise with non-improvisers, his 3 simple rules to fun improv, and the big ideas that are occupying his mind right now.
