Are you new to improv and/or Happier Valley Comedy?
Would you like to feel more connected to your community?
Are you looking for a place to meet new friends?
Has life gotten too serious and you want to add some FUN into your day?
Have you ever watched improv and thought, "I could never do that!"?
Have you ever watched improv and thought, "Hell, I could definitely do that!"?
Do you not give a flying fig about improv comedy but want to learn some tricks to become more confident speaking in public and more mindful in the moment?
Interested in checking out what's going on at Happier Valley Comedy?
If you answered yes to any of these questions and identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, including Asian-American and Pacific Islander), this beginner workshop is for you! It's designed especially for improv newbies, improv-curious, and anyone who wants to step outside their comfort zone in a space of supportive bravery and laughter. (If you're an HVC student who wants to come to support your new-to-HVC friend, that's cool too!)
Happier Valley Comedy's founder and president Pam Victor and HVC teacher Fabienne Boisson lead you through a gentle, easeful, and mindful introduction to improv comedy in a positive and accepting atmosphere where failure is impossible. Our main focus is to have as much joy and ease as humanly possible in two hours. (The person who has the most fun wins!)
No experience necessary. Being funny is NOT required.
The only requirement is a willingness to learn something new and have as much fun as possible.
