Your Improv Journey

Paul Drotos

The Good

  • Goes beyond the stage
  • Written in a genuine, hilarious tone
  • Easy to read
  • Valuable for beginners and seasoned performers
  • Provides concrete tools for creativity

The Bad

  • Unique comedic voice might not land for every single reader

  • Relies heavily on personal stories, which may feel less structured than a textbook

In Your Improv Journey, professional improviser Paul Drotos delivers a wonderfully accessible and genuinely funny guide to the art of improv. While it’s an invaluable resource for performers of all levels, its true genius lies in its practical application to everyday life. The book provides a brilliant toolkit for thinking on your feet, boosting creativity, and improving collaboration—skills I’ve already found useful for everything from TTRPG sessions to client meetings. As a friend of Paul’s who has seen their talent firsthand, I can attest that their authentic and hilarious voice shines on every page. It’s a phenomenal first effort that offers incredible value far beyond the stage.
