Reccomendations: Places where I can watch filmed improv shows?

I've been looking for some places online that film and upload their improv shows. I find that I've been able to learn so much from watching great players perform on stage.

Things I've watched so far -

  • TJ and Dave (Vimeo): You can learn everything from them!
  • Middleditch & Swartz (Netflix): Their duo energy is fantastic, on what seems to essentially be a guest-list type format with a narrative element to it.
  • From Zacky to Ally (Dropout): A fun ensemble performing mono-scenes. Watching them navigate 8 players on stage at a time, was a wonderful reminder of the importance of sharing stage-time with your fellow players, showing patience, and not stepping on each other's toes.
  • Shoot from the Hip (YouTube): Full improvised narratives. They upload quite regularly.
  • Bigger (Dropout): Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Izzy have such a fun energy on stage.

I'm looking for more resources like this. :)))

P.S. If you've seen any of the above recordings, I would love to hear from you what your main takeaways were while/after watching it.

Reccomendations for recorded improv shows on dropout?

I'm looking for more shows like "Bigger" with Bennan and Izzy, or "From Zacky to Ally" with Zac and Ally, etc. Live theatre performances recorded and uploaded on Dropout. (another example: Middleditch & Swartz on Netflix)

Are there any more shows like these on the service?

So, I bought the "Pentel Foatune" recently, the 0.5mm and the 0.3mm retractable. Honestly, I got it for the ink, and it didn't occur to me that I could just buy the refils, ad house them in a different body.

I want a new body because I am used to much slimmer pens, and the Floatune body, though well designed, is too wide for me. I am looking for something that will make it as thin as possible.

My dream would be this refill in Pentel's R.S.V.P body. Any compatible body that you know can bring me closest to that?

I read the other posts about ballpoint pens reccomendations, but I could've find any that I was particularly looking for. I have been using this little known brand from Asia all my life. But I moved to North America recently, and have lost access to my favourite pens :(

I bought a few with me, but they have run out. I am not looking for a replacement.

I need a good quality ballpoint pen with oil-based ink paste. So that it dries quicker and less highlighter smudging, and no bleeding. That's why I am trying to avoid gel-based inks.

The pen I used to use was 0.5 nib, and produced really consistent and dark lines at simple pressure, and was cheap as hell, so all shops carried it. I am looking for something like that, that I could grab from the shelves at any shop easily, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

idk if I'm asking for too much, but by earlier pens were all this :((((
