Free Improv Workshop - Beginners Welcome!

You’re invited to the next Free Syracuse Improv Workshop! Join us for a fun, low-pressure night of learning and practicing improv on stage. No prior experience required. Just show up ready to play, learn, and meet some cool people.

You’ll do fun games, learn fundamental improv skills, and get on your feet with other participants in a supportive, welcoming environment.

All of our workshops go roughly like this:

• Brief introductions and warm-up games
• A short lesson on the skills we'll be drilling that day
• A few acting games designed to help you practice that skill
• A guided improv performance near the end of the workshop

#### This Week’s Focus: “The First Weird Thing”

This workshop focuses on identifying “the first weird thing” in an improv scene — a foundational concept in long-form improv (popularized by the UCB approach).

You’ll learn how to:

• Establish a clear, grounded base reality
• Spot and name what’s unusual once the scene begins
• Use emotional reactions to highlight what’s weird
• Turn that first weird thing into a repeatable comedic pattern

And yes, if you attend regularly, you will either become the funniest or the most annoying person in your office. Often both.

Meetup limits us to 10 people unless we pay them a zillion dollars, so if the event says “full” feel free to ignore that and show up anyway.
