The group dimension will make sure the learning will be cooperative and engaging. At the end of the course the different acts will be part of a “graduation show” organized for colleagues, friends and family members. Comedy must be raw and original, so get ready for something unique!

COMMUNICATION TRAINING

Am I funny? This is a question many people ask themselves. I believe the answer is YES, everybody is funny. The problem is to look for the comic potential, and then learn to fully express it.

Stand-up comedy is getting more and more popular as a form of entertainment and as a hobby, thanks to World famous shows on Netflix, Youtube etc. It’s a great activity to explore our communication potential, reflect on everyday life issues, and to get out of our comfort zone.
