Now, im sure none of us really envisioned how the entire set would be run when we first open it up. For example, if the girl would respond completely from way out of left field or retort in a witty way, etc.

Now, this is not a pick up artist book nor is it nlp or any of that sutff. it is something actors and actresses are essentially looking at as the basic guidline to improvisational acting. this book is called "TRUTH IN COMEDY"
it doesnt have any acting techniques or anything you would be turned off from like that. It really outlines how tot ake a set and lead it into whatever you want itt too..in short..it allows you to respond to any specific line in a funny way.

Don't see this book as a new thing but it definitely can help you out.

"Truth in Comedy"

Del Close, Charna Halpern

As someone who's come into this with a theater background I can definitely say that's given me a much better start than, as far as I'm aware, most guys get, because even though I haven't learned a lot yet, I'm VERY sharp and quick on my feet. A little improv or acting experience is a very good thing to have in your corner here.
