Napier, founderof Chicago's Annoyance Theater and a veteran Second City director, is the author of my favourite how-to improv book,Improvise: Scene from the Inside Out. -- Chris Hannay Improv Embassy, Ottawa, Canada

From his class I learned that improv requires at least one of three things: a free spirit, a brave heart, or
 a quick mind. By his example, I learned that Mick Napier has all three. -- Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert

Actors of all walks of life (whether their primary venue is improv-heavy or not) will directly benefit from Napier's expertise; comedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert certainly did, as he testifies in a brief yet hilarious foreword! -- Midwest Book Review Midwest Book Review
