Named after Richard Linklater’s film of the same name, Slacker is a format similar to La Ronde, and is the signature form of legendary improv team, Beer Shark Mice.

A suggestion from the audience is optional to get started.

The form begins with a two-person scene. After the characters are established, one person is tagged out, and a new character is introduced. This continues, with different people tagging in, until the last person to leave the scene meets up with the first person from the first scene.
