House of Lies Improv | Live with Kristen Bell, Don Cheadle, Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson | SHOWTIME

[@andrewwowk935]

Watching some of these guys who haven't done improv before smiling and laughing together, clearly enjoying themselves just reminds me why I love improv so much.

[@MJKT95]

Who’s here after watching Middleditch & Schwartz?

[@santanasbananas]

Mekela Tyler riiiiiight here

[@ethannavarro943]

me...

[@waffletoast215]

Me!

[@DodoDiaz]

I've seen this one many many times, long before Middlesteen & Schwaah.

[@rileygalvin2]

It is the funniest thing on Netflix

[@simplyawful]

Benny Schwazz and the cast of Pie Town have made a fan for life... Me guys. I'm the fan. And you should be too, because that was amazing.

[@maximo5737]

So happy to be watching House of Pies Pive.

GET IN THERE

[@julianopaulino83]

Opening for Brasil please!!!

[@whitedevil2]

so this is submitted by Showtime, yet it's completely censored?

[@annafraser5]

Is that Kevin from the Gilmore Guys in the front row?

[@frostypinesanimation]

I never watch shows like House of Lies so seeing Don Cheadle next to Ben Schwartz is weird. Dewey is taller than Donald.

[@darkfieldmpls]

Ben is the guy who will finally bring real improv to the masses.

[@lmbgemini]

Whose Line is It Anyway already did that and it's funnier than this.

We would LOVE to see more improv on television! Especially long form! This is really fantastic.

please dont speak for me

[@DamselsOfDorkington]

Ezana Assefa We're a group of three people. So the three of us are a "we" which has nothing to do with you. So our statement still stands. WE would love to see more improv on tv! :)

[@xaviermunroe2950]

Ezana Assefa With all the other crap on TV you're telling me there isn't a half an hour somewhere for an improv show involving actors from different hit Tv shows...

[@dewaynerobinson2128]

Curb your enthusiasm

[@calliph]

Just watch the older episodes of whose line is it anyway.

[@doodlekat1]

Im not kidding this is my favorite video on the internet

[@ActualAlexandra]

It's embarrassing how frequently I watch this

[@Rav3r916]

"WE HAVE A ROSEMARY CRUSTED CHICKEN.. SO GOOD!" LMAO!!!! XD

[@SquareNoggin]

I hope some House of Lies fans appreciate UCB and look into some of Ben Schwartz's other work. He's the one that set this up for sure (he's a UCB staple). It's really cool that Kristen and Don agreed to do an improv show at UCB.

[@DiddntFindANameLol]

Came here to watch this after Ben guested on a podcast last week (review revue), where he talked about this. Showtime let him do this one as a sort of proof of concept, you hit the nail on the head.

[@mshevchenk]

​@@DiddntFindANameLol its funny, I watched this when it came out after I first was introduced to Ben through Jake and Amir and I've never been more on the same page as Geoff when he said that this video is what introduced him to improv.

[@StevieWicks]

He's also been a frequent guest on a long running podcast Comedy Bang! Bang!- his episodes are always gold.

[@Stephen_KB]

They really abandoned the pregnancy lie really quick

[@lacey4371]

[@peachesandpoets]

"hey, you guys, when you get a chance, could you shut the fuck up?" hahahahaha

[@Showtime]

The House of Lies cast left their suits behind to perform improv in the hilariously, unscripted new #Showtime original, House of Lies Live! Watch it now!

[@jennygarcete8046]

Found this hilarious

[@brittainmark]

Well it would have been if everyone other than America hadn't been cock blocked from seeing it.... As usual --- dont you think the foreign fans of this show enjoy these snippets...

[@xanon4210]

I feel pathetic after watching this. I feel like a lowly human being. These people are gods. How could they do something so bold and so impromptu?!?!!

[@SquareNoggin]

+x anon You gotta listen to some improv podcasts man, they're amazing. Many of the UCB people do a lot of different improv podcasts and it's really a wonder to behold. Ben Schwartz, Lauren Lapkus and Eugene Cordero are particularly good. I've always been a big fan of comedy, but after discovering improv comedy it's hands down the funniest and most impressive type of comedy to listen to / watch.

[@youtubedrifter5594]

Practice

[@nikhilrampal7488]

It's not improv

[@lauradesommar434]

Practice legit years of practicing acting helps you befriend failure and be in the moment, be open. And then practice the type of acting you love most and then voilà :)

[@McDonaldsCalifornia]

​@@nikhilrampal7488huh? It clearly is

[@kevinzambrano5179]

I just started looking for improv shows after watching Middleditch & Schwartz and now with this, I'm even more hooked. So, if anyone have any recommendations PLEASE let me know. This is great

[@orenkassner2510]

Same here, I came from the earliest show

[@eos04]

I don’t know anything either but asscat seems pretty good

[@SgtLion]

They're mostly old now but there's literally like 500 episodes of Whose Line is Anyway which are all gems

[@user-qb2dd6ed7y]

try asscat from UCB. You can usually find a couple tapings on KZbin

[@kevinzambrano5179]

Yeah I thought M&S was good but after seeing ASSCAT, really UCB are as good as it gets I think. Really great stuff

[@PeterEhik]

More people need to fucking watch this show, I dont know anyone who does, and it's so awesome. Hope Marty and Jeannie can finally just fucking be together, the season 4 finale was beautiful.

[@sampotter2339]

This was amazing. Ben should host an improv tv show

[@pedxing]

I think Schwartz actually looks younger in 2020 somehow.

[@augustgreenberg5602]

25:41 I'm great at coming up with names. Ask me what her name is

[@Ninterd2]

"A light house is so far away from land". Uh, Ben...

[@winola2000]

Josh Lawson is the best!!!!!!!!! What an amazing improviser. Hope he gets more comedic work.

[@stelpanagakos2520]

You should check him out on thank god your here the Australian version on KZbin he was hilarious on that show

[@JamScamly]

10:23 it's literally eleanor

[@SquareNoggin]

And wow Don Cheadle looks like he could be 20 years younger than he is. It's insane. The man looks amazing.

[@ChristopherMelkus]

I haven't laughed this hard at improv since seeing the first time I saw WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY.

[@marcelapampolha4689]

Seeing this is so good because i dont feel like shit anymore when i am doing improv, because you can see that even some of the biggest actors are scared when it comes to improv

[@MediaCastleX]

Ah...if only these guys could keep doing things like this every so often as an improv team. If bet ppl would be down to watch, they could do it whenever fits their schedules. They could freaking tour, can you imagine? 😵

[@indorock]

There's always Comedy Bang Bang podcast, where you'll have Lauren, Ben, Eugene and Ryan on pretty regularly.

Yeah Kristen Bell should get her on the next season of Woman in the House.

[@persiacruz446]

"no! it went out of order!" AHHH #ded

[@TonyKnight1208]

Im getting into acting. Improv seems so hard to me. Its hard to come up with things on the spot. My mind just goes blank.

[@09mtcamp]

Focus on reacting to the other characters in a genuine way

[@TonyKnight1208]

+Meredith Campbell Thnx for the advise.

[@SquareNoggin]

+Tony Knight Take some classes for sure. I'm not even in showbiz, but I'm a huge nerd fan for Improv. There's improv schools all over the place, and the skills you learn in improv are VERY useful in acting, writing and performing. Even if you're not the best at it, you'll learn a lot if you take some classes. Everybody finds it hard at the beginning but being able to do some improv will make all the other acting you do a lot easier. I seriously couldn't recommend it enough.

[@TonyKnight1208]

***** oh ok, I will definitely keep that in mind

[@judybaker3239]

+Tony Knight Take a look at Keegan-Michael Key has the perfect metaphor for Improv on the theoffcamerashow it might give you a different perspective on improv. it did for me, made it seem more manageable even though i don't do it

[@imsilyeah]

who hadnt done improv before?? they all seemed so natural, which was probably helped by the ones you could see were pros at this like ben and lauren. but they were all so good its hard to believe it was anyones first time

[@kirbyteeth]

the rosemary chicken bit makes me laugh harder than it should

[@DjDarkD]

You just got to love the moments where Kristen is bursting from laughing, but not opening her mouth.

The characters in HOUSE OF LIES were completely obnoxious and selfish. Nice to see the actors having fun away from them.

[@iiota]

House of pies?

[@kayleeo7330]

Between this, The Earliest Show, and Middleditch and Schwartz, Ben Schwartz has completely indoctrinated me into loving improv and I’m not complaining.

[@dramalexi]

Never seen improv like that before. It's all about the game and you're doing it masterful. Characters aren't even so important and still it's pretty hilarious.
