Improv@Work
A Scottsdale accounting firm ordered an improv workshop. They came seeking connection, creativity, and a heck of a lot of team‑supercharging.
Enter your team of exuberant improv coaches, bursting in with the energy of a desert wildfire. You’re dressed like you just emerged from a cactus-flower explosion—bright sneakers, witty grin, and voice booming, “Dump the slides. We're here to connect, crack up, and crack open your potential!”
Their challenge? Break down silos—boost communication, collaboration, and agile thinking. Cue the first small-group game: “Yes, and your solar panel just sprouted wings and joined your product team!” One engineer lunges: “Yes—and it’s forming a startup!” Cue belly laughs and that spark of creativity.
Then—wham!—they plunge into "Interrogation with Boris,” an edgy, high‑voltage duet that sets the room on fire (more on game in a sec). They break into pairs: one as interrogator, one as suspect. The interrogator unleashes bizarre, disconnected demands (“Explain how your toaster is secretly the mayor”), and the suspect writhes, improvising wild stories—until the interrogator summons Boris, an invisible, hulking thug. The suspect mimes being tortured: leg snapping, dramatic gasps, then erupts—“He made me confess I’m secretly a cucumber!” Cue uproar, more trust, braver risk-taking, louder laughter, and that sweet release of shared silliness.
Midway, you sweep them outside to a shaded courtyard framed by saguaro silhouettes. “Reflect on how your truth got stranger under pressure—and how you trusted each other through it.” They chat, sparkle in their eye contact, recount lines that cracked them up, notice new empathy emerging.
Next: a rooftop group challenge. They must collaboratively invent a desert-themed product—like cactus-powered Wi-Fi boots—and pitch it on the fly, amid the sunset. Roles rotate, ideas bounce, everyone practices listening, building, leading. You swoop in with applause, “Look at you—communicating, embracing absurdity, collaborating under pressure. That’s leadership. That’s trust. That’s connection.”

A Sample Improv Exercise!
Boris
Hey hey hey improv lovers, gather ’round—this one’s your new favorite: “Boris”!
Here’s the deal, friends: Two people jump into a mock interrogation scene. One’s the interrogator—bold, curious, throwing totally random, off‑the‑wall elements at the other. The other plays the suspect—who must weave those wild throw-ins into their answers and get … well, into even more trouble!
And then, the legend: Boris. Picture a huge, nasty, totally invisible thug lurking next to the interrogator, ready to do… things. If the suspect’s answer isn’t juicy enough—bam!—the interrogator calls on Boris to “torture” ‘em. But here’s the comedic magic: the suspect mimes being tortured—think cartoonish leg snaps, exaggerated gasps—and then has to up the drama by confessing something even more ridiculous. (“Okay fine, I’m also secretly piloting a UFO disguised as a garden gnome!”)
Wanna make it even more fun? The interrogator could say, “Boris, break my leg!” But honestly, it’s way funnier to let the suspect decide how Boris tortures them. You’re in charge of your own silliness, baby.
And if the torturing doesn’t pack enough punch? Whisper about bringing in Igor, Boris’s EVIL invisible twin. Double trouble!
As a mischievous twist, the suspect can even finger Boris—“Actually, Boris was behind it all—I’d never lie to you, honest!”—making Boris an accomplice or surprise witness. Boom. Curveball. Delicious chaos.
No crime’s established. That’s your secret sauce. It’s all improv—free, playful, unexpected. You show up, you play, you trust the absurd. Ready to get interrogated by your own brain under hilarious pressure? Let’s goooooo!
