5 examples of WHY my Improv Comedy is OLD HACK!

About this episode

Dave Heron discusses the concept of 'hacks' in improv comedy and reflects on his own use of hack lines.

I recently read a great Substack entry by the improviser Molly Thomas on "hacks" in improv scenes. It made me think; yep, I do hack lines. This week, I go through which ones I've done! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
