A Very Good Improv Class for Teens
In this course for students between the ages of 14 and 17, you will learn the basics to dive confidently into the world of improv. You’ll learn what makes it fun to do, and fun to watch. You’ll learn how to be funny without trying to be funny. Your teacher, Syd Campbell, is a professional comedian who is also a seasoned, hilarious teacher!
This course is offered through an exciting new collaboration between The District of West Vancouver and Blind Tiger Comedy (BTC). Weekly camps will take place at The Music Box in Ambleside Park.
Registration and administration will be handled by the District of West Vancouver and students will be subject to the conduct policies upheld by Blind Tiger Comedy. As part of the registration process please complete Blind Tiger Comedy’s

Blind Tiger Comedy is committed to reducing the barriers to participation in our comedy classes, and to making those classes as safe/brave as possible. The better we can create spaces where more folks are welcome, the more welcome those folks will feel, and the more those spaces will be welcoming. As part of a commitment to make comedy accessible for as many folks as possible, at least two scholarship spots will be made available through BTC’s Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship (
