"From the moment I entered the room I felt welcomed and encouraged - and had fun, fun, FUN. How did those hours pass so quickly??  It's apparent that Pam subscribes to the belief that LIFE is best taken with a good dose of humor and she is an amazing teacher. Thanks!

​your chance to get a one day introduction to the basics of HVC's approach to improv comedy! ​

Would you like to learn improv, play, and laugh in a supportive community?
Do you want to get better at thinking on your feet?
Could you use some practice turning off your inner critic?
Would you like to become more confident speaking in public?
Curious about how this whole improv comedy thing works?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, Zen of Improv One-Day Intensive would be an ever so lovely way to spend the day. Happier Valley Comedy's Founder and Head of Happiness Pam Victor offers this five-hour* intensive for adults who want to try something fun, rewarding, and, quite possibly, mind-expanding. You'll learn a very gentle, very easy, patient approach to improv comedy in an incredibly positive and accepting atmosphere that will get you up on your feet and out of your head. Through improv exercises,  games, and scenework, you'll practice the vital improvisation skills of paying attention acutely, accepting other peoples ideas, redefining and disempowering failure, staying in the moment, quieting your critical voice to invite more joy and ease into your work, and much more.

No experience necessary. Being funny is not required!
Everyone can improvise.
(No joke.) 

Join Pam for the Zen of Improv.
​It’s good for the stage, and it’s good for the soul!
​
Pre-requisite: None. This intensive is great for people who want to get the whole Zen of Improv 1 curriculum in one improvluscious day as well as experienced performers who'd like to get a healthy dose of the Zen of Improv approach.

*In order to make most use of our time together, there will be a break or two for snacks and whatnot but no break for meals.
"In this time of unrest it it a rare treat to spend the day with a bunch of strangers and let your funny flag fly. Pam is the total package and perfect mix of engagement, enthusiasm and expertise. I am forever a convert!!"
-Jenn B.

"Pam's workshop fundamentally changed the way I think about improv (and life!). In just 2 days I went from overthinking, always judging myself (and sometimes others), and constantly planning my next move to being comfortable with the unknown and letting things happen and be discovered naturally. ...She gave me permission to be myself, and then helped me realize that I didn't need that permission in the first place. I will remember these two days for a long, long time to come!"
- Vera Didur, Participant of the Two-Day Intensive at Finest City Improv (San Diego) 

After completing this workshop,
