Sketch vs. Improv


This is a song I wrote that describes the differences between sketch comedy and improv.


Lyrics
When you're talking your way out of a DUI, you're doing Improv
Write a funny Dear John letter, that is Sketch
If you have to explain you have a mistress Elaine, you're doing Improv
When you're writing the divorce papers, that is Sketch

It's a wonder why so many times they're mixed up and confused
But so what, as long as you're keeping them amused

When you're asked why the herpes test didn't lie, you might try Improv
If you're writing your best the IRS, that could be Sketch
If you pretend you have a cough cuz you were caught jerking off, you're doing Improv

It's been said so many times in prose and now in rhyme
They mix 'em up a lot, but one is scripted, one is not
If you're putting them on stage it'll fill you with rage

Cuz Sketch isn't Improv, Improv's not Sketch
That's what I said
Sketch isn't Improv, Improv's not Sketch
One more time, for the awesome Steemit people
Sketch isn't Improv, Improv's not Sketch

The main issue is, was he caught masturbating in public? And what.lubricant does he use?

No, he was in the sanctity of his own bathroom. The lock was busted, his son is now scarred for life. This happened to a friend, btw.

man, i just made a mistake and put my upvote here instead of your post :P

👍👍👍- this was an improv comment and upvote

Sorry about "your friends" childhood. That sort of thing could real mess ~you~ your friend up 😒

I myself was part of an Improv group and a stand up comedy group.
Let's if I understand this correctly

So
If you prepare a hundred bucks, to score out some drugs, That's a scetch
If explain it to the police, at the interrogation seat, that's improv

Am I even close?

If you write a ransom note, that's sketch. If the shit goes south and you have to execute all your hostages, that's improv.

here take a double upvote!

Thank you!

For the COM judges who are a bit slow, this song is sketch.

My comment was improv.

gracias lucky. starred at it for 9 hours till i saw your comment. you saved me man

Exactly

should we all pretend we weren't carried away by Johny's voice?

That earned you a follow and an upvote. Are you really from Nigeria, because I gave your prince a whole lot of money last year and I'd like it back.

he's spent it on a Lagos chick. the whores do sing of good ol' John the Felon. be proud!

Hey Johnny boy, come jump in our discord and we will let you in on our secrets. Or as a minimum we'll just talk funny.

Cheers,

Idi

OK. I like to talk funny, or at least I try.

Well sung!

Thanks a lot.
