Yet, in Britain, Improv comedy often continues to be studied from the point of view of existing literature which dates back to the 50 s and 70 s. At a time where the Arts are being challenged by world events and their future has to be reimagined, it is more important than ever to consider the new over the established. As such, I present an alternative approach to what Keith Johnstone considers the ideal of improvisational theatre: a seamless narrative, that neither shows nor lets in any form of vulnerability. While I propose a dialogue with this existing literature, I also specifically challenge Johnstone in demonstrating that there does exist a performance of failure in improvisational comedy. Such a performance carefully influences the audience to believe the performer is in difficulty before they masterly recover, creating a strong impact and weaving vulnerability as a compositional tool into their artistry. Using examples of contemporary British improv, including unique primary material I gathered from personal interviews with practitioners, I bring to the fore new knowledge of what makes the expertise of improvisers.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"139 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45539243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But can ‘anything’ really happen? In the many and varied approaches of Short and Long-Form improvisation are performance structures which inform both the unprepared scenic material and the types of humour which can be produced. Some have argued that the evolution of Long-Form began with the abandonment of game in favour of relational scene. This helpful distinction warrants further discussion; especially since the practice of ‘finding the game’, popularised by the Upright Citizens Brigade (2013), has blurred the boundary between game and scene. How do such scenic games function within these structures? How do they relate to other notions of game and scene to be found in the performance practice of other improvised traditions? I will explore the paradox of using rules, pre-planned formats and prepared methods of play to open up the ways in which spontaneous comedy is affected by both structure and approach. The research for this paper will come from the literature in the field as well as with interviews with professional improvisers who have trained and worked at Chicago’s most influential theatres: The Second City, I.O & The Annoyance. It will also draw on my own training under some of Chicago’s most established improvisers and personal experience of staging both Short and Long-Form work.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"151 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44083414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It indicates how social, economic, and political issues are veiled by pleasant comedic interactions as a way of expression. It uses satire, comedy, and humour theories to analyse Mehran Modiri’s Barareh Nights and Bitter coffee as two influential and popular television series. This paper will reveal how comedy features can be linked to character representation policies to create a satiric context. It will discuss how these comedy series play a mediator role in articulating prohibited facts or critiques, as well as expressing social and political issues. It will address what comic features these television series use to define their comic world, how they employ comedy to depict socio-political matters, how they represent their characters to shape their satiric attack, and how they introduce a central mediator character to place emphasis on their vital mediating role. These comedies compel the viewers to interrogate their socio-political status and encourage them to reform their social or political behaviour. By weaving their criticism with humour, these comedies not only cross the sharp edges of censorship that is inescapable for serious criticism but also act as a mediator in socio-political communications.","PeriodicalId":38662,"journal":{"name":"Comedy Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"78 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44241744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
