“One of the basic principles of improv comedy is ‘Yes, and’ so taking something and just adding on to it,” said Luke Watson, founder, and co-producer of the festival.
Watson, along with fellow co-producer Kim Herrmann, joined Local on 2 Monday to discuss the festival, and also play a popular improv game with hosts Larissa Wohl and Laura Schweizer.
