In this book, or call it a tribute to mediocrity, I attempt to synthesize many concepts without lengthy and tedious theorizing (in my opinion). I base many of the ideas on my experiences acting and teaching students, what I’ve learned, what I’ve observed, and, of course, my professional life as a comedic actor and improviser, taking belly flops—sometimes literally—across countless stages, theaters, venues, parties, beach bars, private terraces, pubs, unlicensed beauty clinics, living rooms in private homes, caves, weddings, offices, curling rinks, courthouses, sewers, small hardware stores, and other improvised “stages” that defy description.

DIVE INTO THE EXCITING WORLD OF THEATRICAL IMPROVISATION, LEARN, PLAY, GROW ARTISTICALLY, AND HAVE FUN! Damn, that sounds like an order, doesn’t it?

Book Composition:

• 59% Literal plagiarism from other books, writings, or manuals.
• 14% My contributions based on other books that were already plagiarized from other books.
• 12% Help with ChatGPT, the free one, of course.
• 10% Intentionally distorting data, with total disregard for accuracy.
• 5% Traces of secrets revealed to me, which I now, without any regret, write down treacherously.

Yes, the total sum is 100.

David Simón
Comedic actor, improviser, teacher of theatrical improvisation and monologues since 2014, drinking beer since 1991. (Sabadell 1973), a place so exciting that even the cacti yawn, epicenter of very ordinary events. I don’t celebrate my birthday, I suffer through it. I’m a terrible yodeler (I’m forbidden from going near the Alps). My weight on the moon is 13.23 kilos. I like cats, toucans, and jazz. I’m an improv teacher with no complaints filed against me. I’ve had far fewer than 12 million students—many fewer.
