Improvisers Shelby Plummer and Brad Pike spend their time onstage creating worlds and characters, but their earlier work started on the page. Both studied creative writing in college and participated in the local live-lit community. With Fictitious, an online literary journal and live improv performance at iO, they marry fiction writing and comedy.
“We found that most of our comedy friends also have some sort of a creative writing background,” Plummer says. “It’s a way to get that writing out of them without it being a high-pressure situation of writing a sketch revue or something like that.”
