The Crown Jewels

I have been sent by a secret agency to infiltrate the world of improvisation, ascend to the highest ranks, and report back to the Table of the Highests regularly with details and stories of my acheivements.
For each link further along the chain I proceed, I am showered with wives who do not nag, houses which need no repair, and ice cream which never shall melt.
I know not those who sit at the Table of the Highests, and have never seen their faces, but my sense is that their purpose resides in devising the Uberbit, which will involve the entire population of the planet, making no one able to free itself from the temptation to contribute. It will end with a gigantic sweep edit which will destroy the planet.
I fear for my safety. Daily.
John.

Isnt life just one big Uberbit anyway? We wonder though this exsistance unscripted, unreherced, flying by the seat of or pants in whatever we do. Never knowing what the next offer will be or where it will take you.
Thats why I love life so much. Each day has an infanate amount of possiabilitys and endings. Who know's maybe today Il get hit in the head with a foul ball, be rushed to the hospital and end up finding out that the guy next to me in my hospital room is Hugh Humphreys or someone with a cool name like that. Then again nothing extrodinary or eventful could happen at all!. Knowone no's and that is what make life so grand.

There's no prize, because there can be no Best Improviser.
If you're the Best Improviser, then you must be better than your teammates. If you're better than your teammates, you must not be making your teammates look good. If you're not making your teammates look good, you're not the Best Improviser. QED.
The prizes for working on becoming a better improviser include: having more fun on stage; getting to play with better improvisers; and, occasionally, getting laid.
But what do I know? I'm just a bitter middle-aged has-been trying to survive in a collapsing economy.
