Summary

This quote suggests that successful improvisation is not solely dependent on being humorous, but rather on two key factors: actively listening to one's surroundings and fellow performers, and avoiding the conscious effort to always be funny. It implies that by attentively engaging with the present moment and genuinely responding to stimuli, improvisers are more likely to naturally create comedic moments that resonate with the audience.
