About the Workshop
Join us at Hashtag Comedy Club for a 3-hour masterclass in improvised song.
In this high-energy, hands-on session, you’ll learn how to sing fully improvised songs on the spot, complete with structure, storytelling, and musicality so strong audiences might question if they were really made up in the moment.
Through guided exercises and live practice, you’ll build skills in:
- Song structure and musical phrasing
- Musical listening and collaboration
- Confident lyric generation
- Committing to bold choices on stage
