Improv Nation: How We Made a Great American Art

At the height of the McCarthy era, an experimental theater troupe set up shop in a bar near the University of Chicago. Via word-of-mouth, astonished crowds packed the ad-hoc venue to see its unscripted, interactive, consciousness-raising style. From this unlikely seed grew the Second City, the massively influential comedy theater troupe, and its offshoots - the Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade, SNL, and a slew of others.

Sam Wasson charts the meteoric rise of improv in this richly reported, scene-driven narrative that, like its subject, moves fast and digs deep. He shows us the chance meeting at a train station between Mike Nichols and Elaine May. We hang out at the after-hours bar Dan Aykroyd opened so that friends like John Belushi, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner would always have a home. We go behind the scenes of landmark entertainments from The Graduate to Caddyshack, The Forty-Year Old Virgin to The Colbert Report. Along the way, we commune with a host of pioneers - Mike Nichols and Harold Ramis, Dustin Hoffman, Chevy Chase, Steve Carell, Amy Poehler, Alan Arkin, Tina Fey, Judd Apatow, and many more.

With signature verve and nuance, Wasson shows why improv deserves to be considered the great American art form of the last half-century-and the most influential one today.

An excellent, exillerating read!! I knew a bit about second city, but the author really makes the history come to life. I’ve bought several copies as gifts.

This was a gift for my niece who has taken improv classes at a couple of Chicago venues including Second City. She thoroughly enjoyed the history.

Sam Wasson is a great writer. I loved this book.

In depth history of improv, much appreciated. Personal anecdotes and back stories add so much. It's hefty but an easy read.

Solid book, well researched, compelling topic!

Great!

Great read

I bought it for a close friend, who is in an improv group. They loved it.
