Jordan Klepper - yes, that Jordan Klepper - has been both with iO Chicago and UCB, and gives some great advice for those learning to do improv. It's often tempting to lurk in the wings (or "the back line" as Jordan mentions) where it's safe. But if you can manage your fear and get out on stage, it really is more fun out there. After all, that's why we do it in the first place.
This is also why it's so important to set up an encouraging and supportive rehearsal environment - so new improvisers feel comfortable "getting off the back line" and trying. It's the only way to get better.
BONUS: You can find Jordan on YouTube talking about stand-up, improv, and working with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
