#48: Andrew Yurman-Glaser

Native son of New York State, Andrew Yurman-Glaser (Broad City; Magnet's The Wrath, Friday Night Sh*w; UCB's Mermaids; Upstate) joins us in the studio to talk about improvising, coaching, and the dynamics of a good team. Host Louis Kornfeld dives in by asking, "Do you remember when you got good at improv?" Humility abounds as Andrew tells of getting his improv start in college and how he's grown over the last nine years in NYC. He goes on to compare his Megawatt team, The Wrath, to an orchestra and tries to shed some light on how a team maintains their integrity over the course of years. Louis asks if Andrew plays differently on Lloyd Night, Harold Night, Megawatt, or Friday Night Sh*w and Andrew talks about when shows feel the most successful. Hear Louis’ favorite things about how Andrew improvises, Andrew's thoughts on the importance of listening, and of course, how improv makes you a better person. Plus! Did Andrew's parents watch him play a masturbator on Broad City? Does Louis like giving notes?? Has this episode been recorded in front of a group of prisoners??? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on Episode #48.
