Ladies like improv stilts, and i think men like improv giant cocks. but one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. you get to play it all when you improvise.

Practice your improv more than learn your lines. 'cause there's no way you'll be able to learn all those lines in a short time. you have to realize what you know and what you don't know - and what you don't know, just come up with three alternate lines or improv that you can put in that spot.
