About the Book

This is your go-to guide for putting on an improv comedy show guaranteed to have your audiences rolling in the aisles. Twelve great improv forms are fully explained along with author Greg Sullivan's keen insider tips on how to perform them like a seasoned pro. As a bonus, the full text of The GS Improv Technique book is included. This invaluable guide gives you actionable insights into improv best practices which will help you deliver an even better show - one which audiences will happily return to time and again. Staging an improv show is both challenging and simple. Challenging in that you must bring your creative A-game every night, yet simple in that no props, sets or costumes are required. When you follow the teachings of The Improv Show Book, you will be a delivering great shows beginning with your first performance. Let author Greg Sullivan's 20+ years of improv experience work to your advantage. Greg founded and performed with NYC improv troupe KLAATU, was featured in three BACK STAGE cover stories and has published twelve books on improv, including Improv for Kids and the Improv Lessons book series. His troupe KLAATU returns to the stage in DEC 2016 and his new troupe, The Bookworms debuts at the Mount Kisco Public Library in NOV. This group is raising funds for library programs. In fact, since improv does not require props, sets or costumes, it is an ideal method of raising funds for community groups.
About the Author: Greg Sullivan loves/lives the George Eliot quote "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Greg was born in Yonkers, NY. He has a BA from Holy Cross and an MBA from Oswego State. He served as a Captain in the US Air Force. A lifelong passion for acting led to a focus on comedy improvisation for 21 years and counting. Greg studied improv at The Rockland Center for the Arts, HB Studio and Chicago City Limits. In 1997 he began his own independent, and still active, GS Improv classes. The following year he founded his troupe, KLAATU, which returns to the stage in November 2016. From 1997 - 2009, less than two years after starting his studies there, he served as a substitute teacher for improv at HB Studio in NYC. He has been featured in three Back Stage cover stories. In August 2016 Greg released eleven how-to improv eBooks, including one on performing a great short-form comedy improv show: "The Improv Show Book." It attained a #1 ranking on Amazon. His latest book "Improv for Kids" was published SEP 23 and has appeared on Kindle's "Hot New Releases" list. That book, and The Improv Show Book, are among his titles which are also available in print. Greg is now writing his first novel, a thriller set in 1949 Paraguay. In August 2016 Greg was named Book Review Editor and Podcast Host for Flight Journal magazine's upcoming column "Flying Off the Shelves." In fall 2016, Greg will launch an improv troupe, The Bookworms, based at the library in his current hometown of Mount Kisco, NY. Performances are November 18 and 19 at the library.. Greg lives with his wife and daughter in Mount Kisco, NY, and still likes to occasionally spoil good walks.
