Current Improv Crushes

Liz Noth is one of the sharpest, funniest, most surprising improvisers I have ever had the honor of playing with. Her straight men and her goofballs are equally keen, observant and reactive, and she is either effortlessly sailing through game moves, or taking a scene with no heart and giving it an emotional core and a sense of time and place. Also, one time she played a character who had too many marshmallows in her mouth, and I still laugh thinking about it.
Liz is incredibly good. It's like it's in her blood. It's like she's princess Leia with a super high midichlorian count in her blood. In that scenario her brother would be a jedi, but that's not what this is about. It's about her knack for game. It's in her bones. It's like from out of her bones come adamantium and boom, there's the game. She's like Wolverine's sister. Her commitment is incredible too, I always believe the characters she plays. Incredible actor. She reminds me of the British television chef Tamasin Day-Lewis.
Hey guys couldn't help but notice that we're all talking about how Liz Noth is the best. Mind if I join?
Liz adds gravity to every scene she's in. She forces her scene partners to match her acting chops, which results in some of the most committed scene work you'll see. Can't look bad when she's on stage. She won't let it happen.

THE REGULARS.
Every time I see these guys they are such a delight. What do i like about The Regulars?
1. They surprise each other
2. They surprise themselves
3. They make good use of the stage and theater space
4. They seem unafraid to fight their way out of a moment of confusion. Excited, even.
5. They fuck with each other, challenge each other, call each other's bluff. And they make it work.
6. They play like they swinging big dicks.
7. They hide the blueprints- I don't feel like I'm watching a Harold, I just feel like I'm watching a good show.
