Episode notes

I can feel that magic when I'm watching Broad City. Even on something that's been edited and produced like a television show. The improv you saw in the show is very much like not using the top of your intelligence. Sometimes it's like going for the easy, what you think will make people laugh.

1. How to know when it’s time to get out or stick it out – and the quit that set Abbi on course to meet Ilana and create Broad City.

2. The life lessons of improv comedy: How to get out of your head, trust your choices, and make something together.

3. Abbi and Abby share similar but opposite stories about relationships that changed their lives (and whether to tuck or untuck shirts).

4. Why reimagining A League of Their Own was the Next Right project for Abbi – and how its label as a “queer show” frustrates her.
