What's On
IMPRO COMEDY WORKSHOP- 18-25 year olds 12/05/10
Stand up and bring your comedy arsenal to the stage. Get a taste of stand up comedy and learn improvisation skills to cover up the cricket noises when things don’t quite go to plan.
Highly acclaimed comedians Laura Davis and Jimmy James Eaton will work on comedy writing and improvisation – some of the most important skills for stand-up comedians and Improvisers.
Regardless of experience, learning to improvise is challenging, and at the same time enormous fun. This workshop will be filled with laughter as people discover just how funny they can be, once they stop trying so damn hard!
This workshop will be held in the amazing Lazy Susan’s Comedy Lounge. At the end of the workshop all participants will have the awesome opportunity to stay on and watch Free Love Impro
