The workshop is adapted to a beginner's level (every time people who never painted before are surprised with the result they achieve!) But also the process will be interesting for those who draw or paint already. For architects, designers, and illustrators it's a good way to discover a new technique and material and make new contacts) All materials are included so there is no need to bring anything.

Join us every other Sunday for the Open Clown Workshop at The Comedy Clubhouse Barcelona. Whether you’re an experienced clown wanting to exercise your clowning muscles or a complete beginner full of curiosity this workshop is for you. Sessions will usually focus on one particular aspect of clown for example: bafflement, befriending uncertainty, staying curious, freedom in failure, connecting with your pleasure, finding the game, eye contact with the audience. Our usual workshop teachers are experienced clowns who perform regularly in Barcelona and around the world. They have either trained with the legendary clown master Philipe Gaulier; performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; organised their own cabaret shows; or have experience of developing clown numbers elsewhere. While every teacher has different strengths and exercises they’ll share, each workshop is designed to inspire you and help develop your skills as a comedic performer. This is a great place to meet new people, play games, have fun & learn new skills! The session lasts from 15.00 until 17:30 and it operates as a Pay What You Want workshop (suggested donation between 5 and 15 euros). It takes place at the Comedy Clubhouse on Via Laietana (be careful because there are two Comedy Clubhouses! It does not take place at the one on Carrer Canvis Nous!)

Join us every Saturday for an **Comedy Writing Workshop** at The Clubhouse: Laietana & Nikki's in Barcelona (C/ Via Laietana 6). Whether you’re a seasoned comedian or wanting to try it out, you will learn loads that will help you capture crowds with your stories. This **workshop is for (comedy) writers**, who are looking for * inspiration * a friendly space to focus on writing and sharing ideas * ways to make their content funnier * connection with other writers and comedians Our teachers are local celebrities in the comedy scene in Barcelona that happily share their learnings with anybody who’s willing to learn. Every Saturday from 15h-17h upstairs at The Clubhouse: Laietana. Simply drop by, or register beforehand on our website: [https://thecomedyclubhouse.es/events/open-comedy-writing-workshop-free-writing-workshop-in-english-sunday/](https://thecomedyclubhouse.es/events/open-comedy-writing-workshop-free-writing-workshop-in-english-sunday/) We have different teachers every week! Follow our Instagram [@thecomedyschoolhouse](https://www.instagram.com/thecomedyschoolhouse/) for updates on who the teacher will be. **Teachers include:** Andy Casper Fil Varney Irene Sango James Regal Mariah Girouard Mila Kopaeva Olga Camacho Stuart Kennedy AND rotating guest teachers. **NOTE: This is a \*pay what you want\* workshop.
