Some 35 years ago in college I saw my first live improv. A group had made the long long drive up from Boston to UMaine to perform in the auditorium. #improv

On their second show, the audience prompt was a lousy inside-joke. My instinct was to yell not to do it, but the moment passed. As a result the next hour totally bombed, the room was dead, and they never came back. I've regretted not doing that for decades, and get edgy at any improv.

So last Saturday I'm at the Henson/Muppet folks' Puppet Up show in NYC. The amazing host @mrpatrickbristow.bsky.social was juggling a bunch of crazy prompts, and later misremembered one. This time, I yelled out a correction. He pointed from the stage and thanked me for the fix. Achievement unlocked!
