Wow, it’s been a minute. One reason I’m bad at marketing is that I don’t like bothering people, so when a marketing-professional friend once suggested sending out daily emails, I was like “Absolutely not” … but I seem to have drifted too far in the opposite direction.

Bullet points first. There are still some slots left in both upcoming Improv for Introverts sessions. North starts this week and South starts next week. (Pro tip: If you want to join the North session, stop reading this and sign up immediately.)

Also, I repeat my humble request: If you live south of the river, please let people who might be interested know that there’s now a class down there. We must secure the southern stronghold.

So after saying a few newsletters back that I don’t want to sell classes by focusing on the personal-development aspects of improv, here I am in a video (above) that does exactly that. Mercury Improv: making the world safe for hypocrisy!

I think I was prompted to do this by how often people say “This class was nothing like what I expected.” I don’t want to promise anything I can’t deliver, but most people who take the class seem to agree that there’s more going on here than just learning a bunch of rules about how to do improv. So the challenge is to convey that without sounding too full of myself.

As always, your suggestions and critiques are more than welcome (seriously). And I hope to see you soon, in class or otherwise.

Till then,
John
