Will Hines: Find The Fool

Legendary guest instructors from UCB Los Angeles are teaching at TIC late November 2026

A great way for an improv scene to be happy is for some character in the scene to be doing something foolish. And the quickest way to get a fool in your scenes is to be one yourself.

We will use "hear me out" to make ourselves selectively stupid. We will use the "why" to keep our fools relatable. We'll practice calling out fools in a gentle and curious way.

Come learn how to get your scenes to a relatable and funny place fast!
