What we’re about
Find Your Laughy Place!
Every class is packed with joy, laughter, and just the right amount of silliness.
We’ll have a ton of fun in trusting, welcoming space where you can tap into your feel-good superpowers and build confidence through play.
You don’t need any previous experience or formal training — and you definitely don’t need to think of yourself as a “funny person.” Just be ready to dive in and embrace the moment.
About Laughy Place Improv
This meetup group is a fun way to get to know awesome people and sample a free taste of the classes I offer through my small business: [LaughyPlaceImprov.com](http://laughyplaceimprov.com/). Each class is a mix of participants through meetup or through [LaughyPlaceImprov.com](http://laughyplaceimprov.com/).
A lot of people who join us through meetup (up to three free sessions - no strings attached! ) decide that they love the community and become repeat customers. If this is you then I'll ask you to become a paid community member through the website. Paid participation helps me cover the costs like the venue, insurance, and management.
💡 Classes often fill up quickly. If you're on the waitlist here on Meetup, you can still guarantee your spot by booking directly through our website. [LaughyPlaceImprov.com](http://laughyplaceimprov.com/).
About Me
I'm Ben, and improv has been a huge source of fun and destressification in my life for years.
I started teaching improv in March 2025 when my regular day job got zapped by a sudden change in US foreign policy.
I launched LaughyPlaceImprov.com because 'improv' was the answer when someone challenged me to consider what my dream job would be if money were not an obstacle.
My goal is to build an improv community that is fun and easy to be a part of, where people know your name and are glad to see you again, and where you can set aside your daily stresses for a while.

Drop-In Improv Class
Theatre on the Run, 3700 S Four Mile Run Dr, Arlington, VA, USImprov for Good People!
🎭 Room 174, Theater on the Run, Arlington
Fun, laughter, and silliness infuse every session!
Join us for drop-in short-form improv games in a supportive, no-pressure environment. No performance experience needed — just a willingness to play.
✅ You don’t need to be “funny”
✅ You don’t need experience
✅ You do need curiosity and a willingness to try!
Each session includes welcoming intros, a few icebreakers, and lots of laugh-filled improv games — inspired by shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway? We keep the energy light and the games accessible for newcomers and veterans alike.
I am building a small business called Laughy Place Improv. This meetup is a way to get a free taste of my classes. It's my hope that after you try a class or two you will decide Laughy Place Improv is so awesome that you want to become a paying patron.
If, after up to three free classes, you decide Laughy Place isn't 100% for you, it won't hurt my feelings at all if you decide to go in a different direction.
If the meetup group is waitlisted, you can guarantee a spot by purchasing through laughyplaceimprov.com.
📍 Important Location Note
Theater on the Run is at 3700 S Four Mile Run Drive — but you must enter from the back side of the building (off Nelson Street or Oakland Street).
Look for the Arlington Cultural Affairs entrance and ring the bell to be buzzed in.
