This week's spotlight is on... Show Hosting & MC Skills!
Most good improv shows are supported by a few people in the room who aren't doing improv – namely the show's host and tech.
A host's job is to be warm and welcoming, and to speak to the audience in a way that's both informative and entertaining. They're the person the audience sees first and last, and have a huge impact on whether a show goes well for the improvisers.
In this workshop we'll work on some tried and true recipes for hosting success, and get plenty of reps pretending to host a few classic TIC shows like Cage Match and The Remix.
By taking this workshop you'll be set up to host your own indie shows with a slick level of polish, and possibly even find yourself on TIC's radar as a future paid host for shows like Cage Match and Tournament of Teams.
