I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. You might be a guest in a show with a format you’ve never worked in. “Yes, and” the format the same way you would a scene. It’s okay that you don’t know the format as well as your hosts do. You likely wouldn’t have been invited to guest if they didn’t think you were capable of rolling with their format. But continually commenting or joking around about how you don’t know what you’re doing with the format is a subtle denial of your host’s concept, which is not likely to get you invited back. “Yes, and” the concept. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
