Through easy to learn games and exercises, this high energy improv class will break you out of your shell (and out of your head) and set you on a path of a more truthful comedy mindset. After the 5 week course, celebrate with the FOU family and show off those newly learned skills with a demo performance at the JAM on our stage. Want to learn more? Want to sign up?
