Improv - scenes from a hat

I’ve found the rules of improv are useful in new social interactions and even at work (not necessarily for laughs or entertainment either). So the rules are designed to keep the story moving forward. The most important principle is “yes, and…” This means that your responses should agree with the premise of the story and what the previous actors have added to the story. If you would like to learn more, see The top 5 rules for improv

Scenes from a hat are improv based on pulling a random scene descriptions from a hat and then playing out the scene. I’ll start with an example. Feel free to add to the scene or add a new scene to the hat. 

Scene from a hat: Terrible things to hear over a public announcement system.

My improv response: Ladies and gentlemen please exist the pool quickly but without splashing because…

(now it’s your turn 😁 to add to the story)

Oh, I thought it was a mute parrot, I wondered why it wasn't squeaking or eating, then I realised out the corner of my eye........

@fruityBubbles925 that the job interviewer was trying to poke the parrot with a pencil to see if it was in fact dead…
