Every Sunday afternoon all year round, easylaughs offers drop-in improv workshops where everyone is welcome. If you have always wanted to try improv, if you have taken a class and would like to continue growing your skills or if you simply want to enjoy a couple of hours of fun and laughter with like-minded people, this workshop is for you. Each workshops is facilitated by a different member of easylaughs (or occasionally a guest) who gives it a new theme from learning the basics and playing games to getting into a particular aspect of improv performance. Language: English.
