It's time to #SaveSoil 🌍❤️ See more 02/16/2017 What an amazing thing to get to see the tale behind on of comedy's greatest legends. Can't see how any comedian or person in the arts wouldn't enjoy and appreciate this. The genuine love for this pillar of comedy is so evident in the film with interviews from many comedians who considered him his mentor. An important piece of comedy history beautifully expressed in this documentary, don't miss out. See more 02/13/2017 I really enjoyed watching this film! It's not the most factual history of Del Close's effect on improv or comedy in general, but it is really quite heartwarming. It features a lot of retro found footage of some of my favorite comedians like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Louis C.K., and most of the original UCB cast, all talking about their experiences with Close earlier in their careers. Really casual and easy watch, interesting for any fans of comedy. The film is what it's title says, it's a thank you note to Del Close from those who have learned everything from him. See more 02/10/2017 This is an awesome documentary - an incredible inside look into the world of comedy and improv. Del's persona and influence are alternately fascinating and tragic, but his integrity and authenticity cannot be denied. A must watch for all lovers of comedy! See more 02/09/2017 As a long time fan of UCB, since the days of their Comedy Central Show, this movie was vastly important to understanding one of the true godfathers of the artform of improvisational performance. I also recommend UCB's Improv Comedy Manual that i got off of Amazon. It breaks it down from the simple basics to the more in depth long form styles. A longtime comedy fan and avid reader of comedy biographies, Del Close was a name i ran across countless times. So thanks to UCB and Seeso for the chance to put a face to the name of a purely ingenious mind, an innovator, a true original, Del Close. See more 12/08/2016 Inside look at UCB Theater and an annual improv festival in honor of Del Close. This is a great primer on improv comedy, it's history and creation and how the philosophy survives today around the world. See more Read all reviews
