Comedy Central (Square) - Ages 14-18
So you're funny - now what? ImprovBoston gives you the answers. In this week long class we will cover the basic forms of performance comedy - sketch writing (like SNL), improvisation (like Who's Line Is Is Anyway?) and stand-up (like Dane Cook). Then we'll weave it all together into a show set up like your favorite fake news program (like the Daily Show). You'll learn about writing, delivery, character work and most of all how to get those great ideas out of your head and turn them into a show. No previous performance experience necessary. Limited to 15 students.

April Vacation: April 21st-25th 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Friday will be an extended day to include the show. Comedy Central Square : The Show will take place Friday, February 22nd at 5:30 p.m. Parents, family and friends are encouraged to attend.

ImprovBoston is a national leader in improv, one of the hottest and fastest growing forms of live comedy. We have played at all the major comedy festivals across the country, and love what we do so much so that we want to share the fun with as many young people as possible.

The mission of ImprovBoston University’s Youth Programs are to encourage and nurture our students’ innate curiosity, creativity, and ability to make connections with others. Our professionally-trained instructors create a fun and supportive environment within which students can explore, develop, and succeed, contributing to their overall sense of well being and connectedness in relationship to their families and wider communities.
