I was doing some Christmas shopping by the Galleria Mall last night, and saw this sign.
“NOTHING HELD BACK!“
I didn’t go in the store, but I love the idea they’re holding nothing back inside (and, for some reason, that exclamation mark really gets me).
“Ask us how we’re feeling because nothing is held back!“
“Do you look fat in that? Ask us! We’ll be honest because nothing is held back!“
“Should you have made better choices in my 20s? Ask us and let’s get real! Nothing is held back!”
You get the idea. It made me giggle.
And…honestly…this is a pretty great sign to think of before walking into an improv scene.
NOTHING HELD BACK onstage!
Be honest, and discover something true because you’re not holding anything back. Most people onstage go to the safe choices. If you’re being more authentic you’ll be more interesting…and funny! All that good comedy is waiting behind the honesty.
Have a great day!
