Clowning

Improvising is like falling down a flight of stairs in front of an audience.

If you seize up, you will land flat on your face.

If you let go and float gracefully down, it will be very pretty, and you will land flat on your face.

Either way, it's just plain funny.

At the Clown Shop we teach the fundamentals of long and short-form improvisation in the tradition of Del Close, Second City, Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, and every presidential administration since Nixon. Here you will learn the art of taking a small suggestion and, using only your urbane wit, create an entire world.
