The term IMPROV BIT is a combination of two words, SPOOF and SKIT. A SPOOF is a humorous imitation of a serious work, often used to make fun of the original. It can be done in many different forms, such as a movie, a book, or even a song. A SKIT is a short comedic performance, usually involving a few actors and a simple plot. Improv Bits are a combination of these two elements, where actors create a humorous scene on the spot, without any prior preparation.
