This jam will build on finding the second beat of our comedic idea through heightening, cause and effect, and exploration
About this Event

You've stumbled on a hilarious idea, character or situation -- where do we go from here?

This improv jam will use tag-outs and second beats to heighten and explore your comedic POV as well as secondary character games and patterns, and to explore the potential of organic moments.

(Open to all experience levels -- and if you also do standup or sketch, feel free to bring in any material you're working on and come away with ideas for alternate jokes and tags)

PWYC (suggested $10)

Doors at 7:30, jam at 8

Note: This is our last jam before our summer hiatus -- for more info about future jams, give us a shout at [email protected] (and/or join the community group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/5302366319787659)
