"For anyone wanting to start in comedy, this is a great start! Not to mention, skills like learning to listen and paying attention are skills you can always use on a daily basis. So much fun, and the laughter is better than therapy!"

"This is a course that would benefit anyone! If you’re shy or anxious it will help you to deal with that in a safe way. If you closed off, a bully or don’t talk to folks easily, it will give you the skills to really be present. If you’re a comedian, public speaker or teacher, it shows you how to engage and involve your audience. Just an outstanding course."

"The teachers provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment where players at all levels feel warmly welcomed by both their teachers and peers. The fundamentals of improv are broken down in easy-to-learn games that are addictive and incredibly fun to play! What are you waiting for? All you have to do is say, "yes, and...!"

"Responding to job interview questions is now a breeze. There is nothing a potential employer can ask in an interview that can throw me off my game now that I know how to be in the moment and "yes, and" and "think ping pong, not chess!"

"Mad Cowford Improv workshops enhance your skills of consideration, collaboration, conversation, and commitment. They encourage you to get our of your head and respect what is in front of you. When we all talk, and all increase the volume of the conversation, we end up with chaos.  Improv helps you understand when to pause, listen and stop talking. The world needs more improv!"
