Improv Illusionist - Improv Tip flag

Tip for improv safety: Check yourself for injuries after a show. The adrenaline of performance can mask pulled muscles, bumps, bruises, and scrapes. Start treating these before you REALLY feel them the next day.

And also... Survey the stage\rehearsal room for low-level lamps, trip hazards etc beforehand.

In fact, to see something that's supposed to be inconceivable, and have it in front of you, within reach, open to examination, and to have that because with the wonders of human progress we've been able to do things like take detailed photographs of the sun... isn't that just incredibly reassuring?

I hear a lot of this "AI allows people who don't have art skills to be make art" and it does make me question what I've been doing, because the whole schtick of my streams and shows is to allow people who don't see themselves as creative to make art, using me as their avatar.

I'm excited that you're supporting a Wealth Tax. I will be interested to see the details on that, but the top-line goals seem right.

I only just got round to this Ok Go song and video. Very trippy, befitting it's Beatlesy sound.
Also rather neat if you've ever worked with robots.

As Southampton Improv Community, we're running a drop-in improv session next week. A standalone thing so people can try Improv (or come back for more) without committing to a whole course. It would be great to see you there!
