About your teachers:

Laura Patrick was a Founding Member of The Ha-Ha’s, an Improv Group performing in the Happy Valley and beyond between 2003-2019. Before moving to the Valley in 2002, she survived being a child TV actor and a starving theater actor in NYC. She has loved doing short form, long form and everything in between, and sharing the thrill of improv as a teacher is a pure joy.
​Pam Victor is an improv comedian, author, teacher, consultant, and nice person. She is the founder and Head of Happiness of Happier Valley Comedy, the heart of improv in Western Mass, where Pam teaches improv to the best students in the world, as well as bringing the power of improvisation to the workplace in the THROUGH LAUGHTER program.  She's also a happiness facilitator and the originator of our wellness and wellbeing program. TJ Jagodowski, David Pasquesi, and Pam are the co-authors of "Improvisation at the Speed of Life: The TJ and Dave Book."  Pam is a nice person and likes you already.
