Description
This is a Game. It is in the following categories:
The (slightly negative sounding) name is attributed to Keith Johnstone and refers to shows consisting of short games, played in small rooms, like bars and tiny comedy clubs.
In this simple format, a limited number of players (4-6) play improv games, introduced, and usually directed by an MC. In certain troupes the players take turns MC-ing and/or directing.
There are usually no judges, no score boards and no prizes to be won. Suggestions are taken from the audience, drawn out of a hat or provided by the MC.
Due to the lack of space, there are usually no props or attributes, except for perhaps a coat hanger with clothes and a couple of hats; players typically mime their props.
