Episode 9: Indie improv, with Casey Feigh and Nick Mandernach
In the second installment of a two-part series on improv, Jen chats about the indie improv community with guests Casey Feigh (Crashbar) and Nick Mandernach (Room 101). They cover everything from the genesis of each show to how a line-up is put together to social anxiety about hosting. They also recall the dirty thirty and discover a mutual admiration for weird ball games, but don’t worry, nothing about either of those things is blue.
For the first part of the series, check out Episode 8: Long form improv, with Neil Campbell.

Preview: Episode 8
This week’s episode is posting Saturday rather than Thursday, and it’s sure to be a good one as it’s the first of a two-part series about improv!
Tomorrow, I’ll have Neil Campbell (Artistic Director of Upright Citizens Brigade Los Angeles) on to talk the art of long form improv and the relative lack of awareness/understanding of long form outside its own community.
Next week, part 2 focuses on the indie improv community, with guests from the host teams of some of LA’s best indie shows, Casey Feigh (Crashbar) and Nick Mandernach (Room 101).
So tune in tomorrow for part 1, and if there’s anything you’d like to ask the hosts of Crashbar, Room 101, or The Manifesto Show, send your question to prepopculture@gmail.com and have your curiosity sated in part 2!
