Price: $135.00 | Instructor: Layna Fisher
This four-hour class will sharpen your comedic instincts whether you are a improvisor, stand-up or clown. This class will help you connect, generate original material, and unlock a more physical, expressive presence on stage. You’ll learn to play from the body, embrace failure as fuel, and develop your unique comedic voice—all while becoming a more dynamic, fearless performer. Expect things to get raucous.
Through a mix of group and solo exercises, we’ll explore the “rules” of comedy—and then break them. You’ll discover what makes your comedic perspective distinct and practice making bold, responsive choices that keep you present and ready for anything on stage.
We’ll push through awkwardness into genuine hilarity—helping you trust your instincts, commit fully, and create moments that land with real, earned laughter.
Ages 18 and up. No prior experience is necessary. You’ll be guided through games, audience interaction, and collaborative exercises in a supportive environment.
