After two days, “Working Lunch” is shaping up to be pretty bad. There’s one LITTLE detail about about improv comedy that someone didn’t think about: an audience. A live audience is what drives good improv. The actors get instant feedback about what’s working and what’s not –they know whether to wring more out of something that’s generating laughs, or more importantly, know when to go ahead and shoot the lame horse and move on. There are far too many moments in “Working Lunch” where the actors just don’t know whether to keep panning for gold or move on. It’s awkward and unfunny. Day two seems to have ironed out some bandwidth/interface issues and avoided the on air mistakes in camerawork and cues to the voted plot turns. This one’s a dog.
