COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Eh submitted by chowcy on August 28, 2020, 8:59pm I know I should have been more excited about this book because The Second City is very Famous and Well-Known, but this book was just okay. I think the title sets up the expectation that this book is going to teach you how to apply improv to your professional life with wisdom that you'd expect from one of the most famous improv institutions, but I think the book fell flat. They did more name-dropping than I really cared for.
