The Improv comedians and their traffic memories

Saad Khan, Danish Sait, Darius Sunawala and Cyrus Sahukar of The Improv to share their best (worst?) traffic jam memories English record producer Brian Eno, of the difference between live and recorded music, says, “Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you're listening to a record.” The same can be said of a comic’s show on stage and its recorded video. In the former, you get to participate. The latter, you merely watch and hear. The surging excitement to yell a witty remark, the mild fear of being the butt of a joke and the exhilaration while joining a collective applause will be amiss.. The superiority of a live performance was proven again during The Improv’s improvisational comedy on Friday at the Alliance Française de Bangalore. Started by comedian Saad Khan in 2012, The Improv is a deviation from the regular stand-up comedy. As its name suggests, the performance is unscripted and unrehearsed. Usually, the audience suggest a situation, topic or location to the performers. Before Saad and an impressive trio of comics — Cyrus Sahukar, Danish Sait and Darius Sunawala — drew delirious howls of cheer and a spirited ovation from the audience, The Metroplus put their ability to come up with an instant funny story to test. Before the show, we asked them their most memorable traffic jams.
