Michael Delaney on audience expectations for improv vs. sketch

siegel:

“Say we were all trapped in this classroom, and I had to prepare dinner and all I had was the stuff in that vending machine. And then say somehow I managed to put together something resembling a meal beyond what you normally eat out of a machine. You’d be tremendously impressed. Then say I invite you over to my home for dinner. You’d probably expect a nice home-cooked meal. If I served you an arrangement of vending machine food it wouldn’t fly.”
