Flat Improv - Online improv classes, jams, livestreams

Hello improv friends!

Hi there nice humans! Hope you are all doing well. It's getting cold and wet and it's nice to be inside doing online improv.

Lately I've been taking classes learning the Podcast Form. We have an informal online class show this Thursday (Oct 19) on Twitch. Part of the form involves making up fictitious podcast names and networks. So this video (see below) made me laugh, as it involves both that and some improv callouts.

But really it's the end of the video, which got personal. As I grow crops. And do improv and podcasts from my basement. Huh.

Class & Practice Sessions

My last jam for 2023 is November 9th, but, HEY, I have a fun fun fun HOLIDAY CLASS coming up on December 18th!

You will get the setup in this class, which means you can just run with a scene, get creative, and get out of your head. Characters and big choices will be ENCOURAGED. The challenge? Every scene will have an elf that is placed on a shelf in it... somewhere. Don't know that story? Don't like holidays? THAT'S OKAY! Really. Truly. No homework, and elves are just like... elves. That happen to be sitting and like... being weird and perhaps somewhat creepy... on a shelf, somewhere. "Whatever that means to you."

If you like fun, and you like improv, this class is for you.

Get Setup: Elf on Shelf Scenes. Monday Dec 18 11am-1pm PT online improv class

Monday Dec 18 11am-1pm PT

But I want to see YOUR face, so... there's that. Hi friend!
