ALL LEVELS WELCOME - no experience necessary

How do you engage an audience from the moment you walk on stage? 

How can you get a laugh before you’ve even said anything? 

What happens before the words that can help build the foundation for authentic comedy, capitalize on every laugh and make your written material hit even harder?

Whether you are clown curious, clown dubious or a seasoned physical comedian, you are welcome! Clown Clinic is an affordable drop-in to help you hone precision movement, develop audience connection, and play with curiosity and foolishness. This workshop is 2.5 hours, with a small snack break in the middle.

Saturday, March 8 | 5-7:30 p.m.

To increase accessibility, this workshop is being offered with a tiered pricing structure. Please select the price that is most appropriate for you.
