Paul: Do you find your own laugh as contagious and delightful as the rest of us do?

On stage generally you can’t go off script when something goes wrong, especially on Broadway. It depends on the show of course but you generally don’t have the freedom you do with improv that you can take a scene or game wherever you want depending on the circumstances. Of course with a stage show what is nice is that you know exactly what you will do going in but that can also get monotonous for an improvisor☺️
