Robin Hood Improv Festival Panel, 2025 - Stephen Lee, Yuehan Liu and Bala Viswanathan

About this episode

David Escobedo discusses the concept of 'the unknown' in improv with guests Bala Viswanathan, Yuehan Liu, and Stephen Lee.

Bala Viswanathan, Yuehan Liu and Stephen Lee grace me (and the audience) with their experience and eloquence. All three are fantastic improvisers on stage and leaders in the community. I asked them about "the unknown" in improv. We always talk about "not knowing" where the improv is going, but what does that mean? How come some people are drawn to the unkown and some people afraid of it? We discuss this and there are several moments of wisdom and insight. Thank you to Lloydie and Liam of the Robin Hood Improv Festival for making this space. #improv
