For episode two, we go all in on Iceland. In a small country, improv is huge. I talk to Björk Guõmundsdottir about improvising in two languages, importing styles, making teams, and growing a cozy community. Then we’re joined by the Icelandic improv team The Beautiful People (Björk Guõmundsdottir, Birnir Jon Sigurdsson, Inga Steinunn, Steiney Skúladóttir) from ImprovIceland for a chat about improv forms, names, and pizza toilets before a truly unhinged set about improv over magic and cults over improv. Then The Beautiful People do an Up the Stairs, Down the Stairs. Truly some of my favorite improv. Check out weimprov.org for classes and shows, and pick up my improv book Elevator Farts. Check out my Substack jakejabbour.substack.com for a casual feature class running in ten days. Shout out to Lisa Gilroy for the music and Music Radio Creative for the Audition Presets. Thanks for listening!
