Each week Queen City Comedy offers a fun, "learn through laughing" approach to building improv skills! Each Saturday, we’ll explore a key improv principle through simple games and exercises, while you build confidence and creativity. Whether you have improv experience and want to build new skills, or you are new and ready to learn — just bring yourself and a willingness to laugh and play!
