I think "Improv is..." is too ambiguous. It almost moves towards the concept that anything is improv, which isn't what we're trying to convey.

I like Ratliff's idea, but it's too wordy. Maybe something like. "Nope, no scripts. Seriously."

You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live

How about stickers that just say "PARTICIPATE" or "MAKE A SUGGESTION" or something like that with the AIC URL underneath.

or we could do somethng that combines wes' and roy's idea and have a series of messages that start with "it's not..."

It's not stand up
It's not scripted
It's not just comedy
It's not just in Chicago


What is it? I gotta know!

It's Austin Improv!

Don't piss off the coat hanger.

I like the "what is it?" thread.
