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.

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.

Youtube has just suggested I watch a video by a urologist entitled "ten things you should never do to your penis".
I'm very puzzled because I can only think of two things to do to it.
I really hope neither is on the list.

Wattup #improvisers? What do you think of a sit\stand\lean variant for object work: roller\hammer\driver?
3 players, each with an "object", doing a scene. You can pass your objects off, but can't put them down.
The default game would be decoraters with paint-roller, a hammer and a screwdriver.
