  This is How to Be a Better Human.

  I'm your host, Chris Duffy, and one of my favorite things in the entire world is improv comedy.

• 00:09

  I know that is very much not cool and hip to say that one of my favorite

• 00:12

  things in the entire universe is adults playing make-believe together, but it is true.

• 00:17

  I absolutely love it.

• 00:19

  And I think that one of the things that I love the most about it,

• 00:22

  whether it's watching it or performing it myself, is that good improv skills,

• 00:26

  in my opinion, are the same as good people skills.

• 00:30

  How do you listen really closely?

• 00:31

  How do you make other people look good?

• 00:33

  How do you deal with unexpected situations?

• 00:36

  How do you remember something that is fun and playful and bring it back later on?

• 00:41

  They're all skills that are kind of basic to improv,

• 00:43

  but they're also skills that make people the kinds of people

• 00:47

  that I want to spend time with, the kinds of people that I want to be around.

• 00:51

  And today's guest, Rick Andrews, is an incredible improviser.

• 00:54

  He is very much someone who I want to spend time with.

• 00:57

  But more than just being a great performer, Rick is an amazing teacher.

• 01:00

  He has been teaching for years.

• 01:02

  He's taught so, so, so many people.
