Improv Books:
There are lots of great improv books out there these days. From the ones I have actually read, these were the most inspiring:
  • Truth in Comedy by Charna Halpern, Del Close, Kim Johnson
  • Jill Bernard’s Small Cute Book of Improv
  • Improvise and also Behind the Scenes by Mick Napier
  • Improvisation at the Speed of Life by Jagadowski, Pasquesi, Victor
  • The Improviser's Way: A Longform Workbook by Katy Schutte (hello)
  • The Complete Improviser by Bill Arnett
 
Other Books:
Balance is everything, so as well as reading about improv, I found these books very useful:
  • The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
  • The War of Art by Stephen Pressfield
  • How to be a Productivity Ninja by Graham Allcott
  • The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying by Marie Kondo
  • The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer

My good friend Steve at Hoopla made this list. It’s only good for London, but there are great Facebook pages where you can find local groups.
