How “Yes, and…” at Dallas Comedy House turns ten strangers into a big ball of funny
DALLAS — April and I have been longtime fans of improvisational comedy: We can virtually recite every Christopher Guest film. Vacation trips often include visits to places like Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade. For a couple years we’ve idly discussed taking some classes.
