The Improv Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Improvising in Comedy, Theatre, and Beyond Review: Excellent book for improv and for social skills training for those on the autistic spectrum - I bought this book to help improve my son's skills in his theatre classes. His favorite part of theatre is improv class, but he needs work on his give and take skills. As I read the book, I realized that this book spells out a lot of the skills needed to improve social skills for people on the AUTISM spectrum. The listening skills, give-and-take, and team playing required in improv would work well with teaching social skills to those who don't have these abilities -- and the beauty is that when one is successful, you get immediate positive feedback (laughter) which motivates you to try harder. I really think that improv classes could go a long way to teach older higher-functioning children on the autism spectrum how to be funny -- thereby helping them with social skills. Parents of children on the autism spectrum -- really consider purchasing this book, and possibly setting up improv classes, in order to help your teenage child understand humor. It could go a long way to helping them adapt to their high school experience, and help their peers see them favorably so that they can improve their friendships. Review: Absolutely the only improv book you need - I teach high school theater and I can't recommend this book enough. I came across the Improv Handbook just by dumb luck (I think it was one of those desertcart recommendations) and it has changed my acting classes for the better across the board. It is wonderful for not only teaching improv, but for teaching the elements of storytelling which are so important in all areas of theater. It's fun to read, the exercises are clearly explained, the objectives are concrete, and the kids love it. There are one or two parts that are not workable in my very conservative high school, but those are few and far between. This book, along with anything by Bruce Miller, will give you substantive ways to improve your acting classes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,519,905 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #622 in Performing Arts History & Criticism #1,022 in Acting & Auditioning (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (67) | | Dimensions | 6.69 x 0.89 x 9.61 inches | | Edition | 0 | | ISBN-10 | 0826428584 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0826428585 | | Item Weight | 1.28 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | June 15, 2008 | | Publisher | Continuum | ## Images ![The Improv Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Improvising in Comedy, Theatre, and Beyond - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61F2b6ms41S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for improv and for social skills training for those on the autistic spectrum *by S***R on June 19, 2009* I bought this book to help improve my son's skills in his theatre classes.

Easy to use and fun ideas. A great resource for the beginning improv class. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/348801-the-improv-handbook-the-ultimate-guide-to-improvising-in-comedy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/348801-the-improv-handbook-the-ultimate-guide-to-improvising-in-comedy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
