We sat down with Clare Austen-Smith to learn why she came to Chicago, her process, and why she thinks Improv Sux.

Improv Sux

36: Clare Austen-Smith

Improv comedy is simultaneously the best and worst art form that exists. Sometimes, it’s pure magic. Other times, it really really sucks. But why? Every Monday, we host a workshop and jam called the Mixer in Chicago. We invite some of our favorite folks to teach for a half hour, then the improvise with the attendees. After that wraps, hosts Kevin and Morgan sit down with them to learn about their journey, why Chicago, what they love about improv, but we always ask the question, “why do you think Improv Sux?”
