Improv Update is dedicated to highlighting improv and comedy that is available to watch or do online: podcasts, shows, articles, livestreams, workshops, jams — and whatever else is available in a digital, online format. And is relevant to improv/improvisers.
Weekly updates will send you links and descriptions to these things in your inbox, and sometimes some original tips and articles about doing improv, too.
And maybe the odd thought about improv, random fact, or new word to learn and use in your scenes.
This newsletter was originally sent as The Improv Update from Flat Improv (on the Flat Improv domain), and has now migrated to ImprovUpdate.com as of October 2024. The newsletter morphed into its own website, I guess!

About the author

Jen does improv shows and makes podcasts for small niche audiences such as the one on this site, and a bunch of podcasts and shows delivered on StereoForest.
Jen founded StereoForest so she can create, direct, and produce podcasts for both audio and video delivery.
In the before-times, Jen enjoyed teaching dance fitness and performing in semi-rural vaudeville/burlesque themed shows both of which took place on stages made of wood. She loved it a lot. Like, a lot a lot.
