Description

“With improv, it’s a combination of listening and not trying to be funny. “- KRISTEN WIIG

In this course you’ll be guided confidently into the incredible 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. You’ll build the skills to have fun doing improv scenes, even if that feels scary to read. Your teacher will be a professional, working comedian who is also a seasoned, hilarious teacher.

Heck, you’re going to have a great time. By the time you’re finished with Intro 1, your final showcase will be a breezy walk in a wild fun park.
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 (Apply Here) and Financial Aid Scholarship (Apply Here).

Illness Attendance Policy
  • If you are feeling sick, whether with symptoms of COVID-19 or another illness, do NOT come to your comedy class. .
  • The Blind Tiger team will do our best to support students needing to miss class with symptoms. Your teacher and classmates will fill you in on what you missed, and if significant class time is missed the admin team will set you up with a credit for Blind Tiger Comedy.
  • Your teacher may need to miss time if they have symptoms. Every effort will be made to replace any teacher who is being cautious, but this may lead to last minute cancellations as circumstances arise. Classes will be rescheduled, and credits will be offered in cases where classes cannot be made up in a reasonable manner.
  • Obviously, we’re all in this together. Please do not put attending a comedy class before the safety of your fellow classmates and teachers, and BTC will do our best to support you in making safe choices!
