Listen "Genres in Short Form: Noir, Horror, and Sci Fi"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Secret Improv Podcast, Kristian and Goose take their first deep dive into the wide world of genre-based improv. From noir to rom-com, sci-fi to horror, they explore what makes genre work so uniquely fun — and surprisingly challenging — for improvisers.They break down how genre gives performers structure, tools, and a shared language with the audience, while also revealing the traps: overplaying tropes, forgetting the “scene," or getting lost in style over substance. Part one of this two-part convo covers their favorite genres to play in, how to build genre literacy, and why parody works best when it comes from love and knowledge.)🎭 Whether you're a genre nerd, a longform fan, or someone trying to stretch your improv muscles, this episode will give you insight, laughs, and a few new tools to try on stage.
