WHAT WE TEACH

FIND YOUR FUNNY, GROW YOUR SKILLS.

At easylaughs, we believe comedy is for everyone. That’s why we offer a wide variety of courses and workshops in both improv and stand-up, with levels ranging from complete beginner to seasoned performer. Whether it’s your first time on stage or your hundredth, we’ve got a place for you to learn, play, grow, and have fun.

COURSE CURRICULUM 

FIND YOUR LEVEL. FOLLOW YOUR FUN. 

Our foundation improv courses are divided into 5 levels. As you move through the levels, you’ll build new skills and grow as a performer. If you’re just starting out, you’ll begin with Level 1. Consider adding some musical flair to your improv and check out our Musical Improv classes! After you finish the level courses, a range of courses is available to develop your improv muscles and strengthen those skills. If you’re wondering which course to take, CONTACT US and we’ll help place you in the course that’s right for you. 

 

Our stand-up courses are a great way to strengthen your observation and presentation skills and discover your particular POV. We recommend you start with Stand-up - Beginners, get some real life experience performing at open mics and then come back to fine tune your craft with the Intermediate course.

 

All our courses are taught by experienced, supportive TEACHERS who create a space that’s fun, challenging, and full of discovery. In every class, both teachers and students follow our HOW WE PLAY philosophy to help keep things welcoming, collaborative, and playful. Whatever your level and interest, there’s a course that fits your pace and your playstyle.
