Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!

Thu, Sep 3, 11:00 PM
From Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup!
4.9

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Columbus Mastering the Art of Character Immersion

Thu, Sep 17, 7:00 PM
From Masterclass Larpers Guild for Creative Souls

If you have ever been curious about how to bring a character to life on the tabletop or in a live action setting, this masterclass is for you. We are getting together in Columbus to break down the techniques behind effective character immersion. Whether you are a veteran player looking to refine your portrayal or someone new to the hobby who wants to feel more confident in a costume, this session will focus on the practical side of developing a persona that feels grounded and consistent. We will spend our time covering physical presence, voice work, and the mental framing required to stay in character when things get hectic. This is a low-pressure environment meant for shared learning, so expect a mix of brief demonstrations and open discussion. We want to help you build a toolkit that makes your next experience more engaging for both you and the people you play with. If you are interested in joining us, please grab a spot on the RSVP list so we can get an accurate headcount for the space. [\[RSVP Online Now\]](https://marycarter7498.com/product)
