Improv Is Just Like Thanksgiving!
There are weird similarities between the world of Improvisation and the Thanksgiving holiday.
- Long after the joke/turkey is done, people keep picking at it.
- You don't always get to choose whom you eat/play with, but if everyone's polite and obeys the houserules we can all get along for the meal/show.
- People you haven't seen for years expect to rejoin the group as if they never left.
- Every year it's the same old argument; long-form/sit-down dinner vs. short-form/buffet.
- You don't have to dress up, but if you do it's always nice and appreciated.
- You know it's working if people are laughing with you.
- Discussing how the meal was made, where the ingredients come from, etc., is no where as much fun as the actual eating.
- You shouldn't be a glutton! Everyone wants some!
- Celebrities, especially on TV, don't help the meal/show.
- Usually, politics and religion should be handled with diplomatic aplomb for God's sake.
- The day is always better when everyone brings something to the table.
Got something you want to add?! Please comment below! I'll compile and repost! Happy Thanksgiving!

There will always be people with special needs- allergies, vegetarians, steam-rollers. And you can either accommodate them or make them eat just a plate of mashed potatoes and rolls. Either way it says more about you than them.
