Improvoker and Story Robot – 2 improv blogs
Posted by Plague | Filed under Resources for improvisers, The Plague
Story Robot doesn’t get updated very often, but roaming through the archives of this joint unfolded some great gems for me including the pic here. It’s written by a guy (Brendon Bennetts) from NEW ZEALAND! How do you like that for “improv everywhere?”
The Improvoker is a blog based out of NYC. The authors Ben Whitehouse, Amy Whitehouse and Pilip Buuck seem real into this thing called improv. I recommend trying out their blog and keeping it in the rotation. We’d love to have one of these guys guest blog for us!
