Improv For New Friends
Improv For New Friends
Don't be disappointed if you don't see a bunch of people attending. I advertise this on multiple platforms and the class usually sells out. Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter. Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person. In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around. The organizer, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! FAQs and Good To Know.... After every event, a group from this class sit down and have a drink together so be prepared to stay if you want! Of course, you don't HAVE to. You also don't have to be single or bring a friend. The vibe of this class is much more 'making new friends' than a 'singles' mixer'. We usually run to 8:15 so pay for extra parking!

We are restoring the original, unstiff energy, keeping the format loose, and dropping an absolute upgrade to the guest list. **✨ The Vibe Check** **Hosted by the Founder:** **The founder is actually flying back for one specific reason: to control the room dynamics and ensure this is the absolute strongest tech mixer of the year**. Grab a drink, mix and mingle, and actually connect. **THE SURPRISE:** The zero-pressure format remains absolute, but the stakes are elevated. **A casting producer for one of Canada's biggest business television shows is attending**.
