Comedy has undergone a seismic shift over the past quarter century:
from star powered stand-up comics to an ensemble-fueled style
marked by support, trust, and collaborative creativity. This shift
is mainly due to the long form improvisational theatre structure
known as the Harold. The form's philosophies serve as the bedrock
for the majority of the most significant comedic performers,
writers, and directors of the past quarter-century who are
transforming the way peformers and audiences make, view, and
interpret comedy. This book examines the development of the Harold
and the ways in which it has helped transform American comedy,
examining the tensions and evolutions that led to the Harold's
creation at ImprovOlympic (now iO) and following it through its use
in contemporary comedic filmmaking.
