How to Improv Comedy techniques [YES AND] ... (!+) is there more?

How to Improv Comedy techniques [YES AND] ...(!+) Is there more? In my lifelong learning I had questions while educating myself in long form improvisational comedy. I was studying under the best improvisers in the world yet I felt like "Yes And" was a concept. A phrase past along but undefined or highly teachable. In my lifelong learning I decided I was going to stream line the improv comedy technique "Yes And" and make that my improv comedy mission. I have taught this all over North America as it has progressed to where I have it here. I have also included the traditional way of teaching Yes And as well as the applied improv look at it as well.
I hope this helps you on your journey with in comedy from stand up and sketch, as well as improv. Below are the chapters of the video. enjoy the free improv class/ workshop what ever you wanna call it.

Respectfully,
