About this Event

School, But Just the Fun Parts is a creativity workshop. Learn to turn off that negative voice inside yourself and focus on the joy of creating.

As children, you're allowed to do what you love even if you're bad at it. The older we get, the more critical the voice in our head becomes. School, But Just the Fun Parts is meant to restore creativity and bring back the joy of learning for its own sake.

I'll guide participants through screen-free exercises and short lessons meant to recreate a grade school environment – but only the fun parts.

Remember in school when your teacher surprised the class with a fun activity – make a collage, or draw a picture of yourself 10 years in the future? Maybe drawing (or writing poetry, or singing) wasn't your favorite activity, but you did it – and there's value in trying something new and completing a project, even if you don't create a masterpiece.

At this workshop, you can relax over a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic!) after a long work week and try a new activity – even (especially!) if it's something you might be bad at.


Who are you?

I'm an experienced teacher and standup comedian. Working as a tutor, I frequently hear adults say "I'm no good at that." No good at math, writing, drawing, public speaking. When we give up rather than pushing forward and allowing ourselves to risk failure, we stunt our creativity and growth.


When and where is this event?

It'll be Sunday February 8, 2026 from 6 to 8 pm at the Tiny Cupboard's board game bar in Bushwick (10 Cooper St., Brooklyn, NY 11207)

I hope to see you there!

(There's a $10 item minimum - there are non-alcoholic beverages & snacks available and a full bar!)
