Today's guest on "ADD Comedy with Dave Razowsky," is Phelim McDermott. Phelim is an innovative performer and director with productions spanning from improv to Broadway to the Metropolitan Opera, and recently directed LA Opera's spectacular production of Philip Glass's "Akhnaten." Phelim is also co-founder of London's groundbreaking Improbable Theatre Company. We talk about the tool of tension and the role of improv in our life and work. Improv is a central inspiration for all of Phelim's work. To quote Improbable's mission statement:"Whether in performance, rehearsal or development we will use the practice and philosophy of improvisation in the process of creation (even when we're working on classic plays or operas)."

In other words, the product is the process.

This was a great interview, recorded in a pub outside of London. Enjoy.
