iO's Bill Arnett is musing about the recent publication of the biography of Chicago improv prophet Del Close, The Funniest One in the Room. "I never knew him as a person...The most recent thing I stole from Del was a note he gave to one of his students many decades ago....The note is that you should always be talking to your scene partner and never to the audience.
