It seemed so innocent at first. Your friend, partner, or child signed up for a class in improvisational comedy. They wanted to get over their fear of public speaking. They wanted to meet new people. They wanted to break out of their shell. Little did you know the monster that would emerge from their shattered inhibitions.

The following symptoms may mean that your loved one has been seduced by the cult of improv.

They’ve spent thousands of dollars on classes, coaching fees, workshops, festivals, books, and merchandise.

They keep referencing someone named “Del.”
