“There’s a great improvisational theatre in L.A. (note: he was often spotted at UCB Theatre) I forgot the exact location but it’s where a lot of people from Second City are working now (and) a lot of old Compass Players ” said Robin Williams.” It’s like going out and working out. They do Harolds, which is a long, improvisational piece based on one long question. I go there all the time, it’s wonderful.”
