Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys attending improv comedy shows, there are several thoughtful and unique gift ideas that can enhance his experience and enjoyment of this art form.

1. Improv Classes: Consider gifting him a series of improv classes or workshops. This would not only allow him to further develop his own skills and confidence but also provide him with a chance to meet like-minded individuals who share his passion for improv. Learning from experienced teachers can deepen his understanding and appreciation of this comedic art form.

2. Comedy Club Membership: Look into purchasing a membership or season pass to a local comedy club. This gift will allow him to attend a variety of comedy shows throughout the year, not just improv. He can enjoy a wide range of humor and diverse performers, expanding his comedic palate.

3. Improv Festivals: Many cities and towns host improv festivals that bring together talented improvisers from all around. Research upcoming festivals and surprise him with tickets to one that is nearby or perhaps in a city he has wanted to visit. Attending a festival can expose him to different improv styles, and he can witness performances from renowned improvisers, providing an immersive experience.

4. Improv Books: Help him deepen his understanding of improv comedy by gifting him books written by influential improv teachers or improvisers. "Truth in Comedy" by Charna Halpern, Del Close, and Kim Howard Johnson is a classic choice that offers wisdom, insights, and exercises for improvisers of all levels. Additionally, books such as "Improvisation for the Theater" by Viola Spolin and "Impro" by Keith Johnstone are highly regarded resources for those interested in improvisational techniques and theory.

5. Improv Inspired Games: As a fun and playful gift idea, consider purchasing improv-inspired games that can be played at home with friends or at parties. Games like "Cards Against Humanity," "The Game of Things," or "Telestrations" can provide hours of laughter and shared experiences while incorporating elements of improvisation.

6. Improv Merchandise: Show your support by gifting him improv-themed merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases featuring witty improv slogans or iconic improv symbols. This allows him to showcase his love for improv in daily life and serves as a reminder of your thoughtful gift.

Remember, keeping in mind his specific interests and preferences, you can combine and personalize these suggestions to create a gift that truly resonates with him. Let your gift show your appreciation for his passion for improv and his ability to find joy in laughter and spontaneity.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your first kiss.
