Intro to the Armando with Martin Steger

with Martin Steger

Workshop Description

The Armando, named after prominent improviser Armando Diaz, is a longform improv format that uses a story from a monologist as the opening. This workshop summarizes the format and emphasizes bringing fully formed comedic premises forward from the opening. Topics covered in this workshop:

  • Basics of the Armando format and effective premises
  • How to tell stories for the Armando’s opening
  • How to pull and remember premises from the Armando’s opening
  • How to initiate and sustain premises during the Armando’s body
  • How to practice the Armando with a team or alone

This workshop is useful for any improviser interested in honing premise generation, refining their understanding of the Armando, or wanting to pick up a new format. Most of the workshop’s concepts will translate to formats based on guest interviews or the living room opening.

Facilitator Bio

Martin Steger teaches with Rails Comedy and Washington Improv Theater. Game, premise generation, and improviser-to-improviser communication are the focuses of Martin’s teaching style. On the improv stage, Martin is half of the duo Unknown Number, is on the rock comedy team Heavy Rotation, and is a recurring cast member of the shows People of the District and Who Did It? An Improvised Murder Mystery. Martin is also a sketch writer and performer as well as the director of the award-winning scripted comedy Acuña Acuna.
