For writers, we offer multiple weekly workshops featuring guided supportive critiques, including a session dedicated to screenwriting.
STAND UP WORKSHOP
Monday evenings & Friday afternoons
Practice the essentials of stand up through this hands-on, 8-week series of workshops. We'll review the "Natural Laws of Laughter" and how to put them to use to enhance your own comedy sets. Each workshop is a stand-alone unit, but will build upon what's been presented previously.
Bring your existing material (or start from scratch) along with a notepad and pen. The workshop will consist of discussion, exercises, and rehearsal, all with the intent of refining your set and repertoire. We'll also occasionally venture out into the real-world to perform at CHuCKLES' own live open mic!
$10/workshop or $60/cycle (8 workshops + showcase), includes open mic sessions.
STAND UP OPEN MIC
Monday & Wednesday evenings
Try out new material in front of a live audience!
Rehearse your set and try out new material in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. You'll have a stage, live mic, and real-time supportive feedback (from your colleagues, not the mic) to help enhance your comedic skills.
Exercise your comedic muscles in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
Refine your listening skills, develop new voices & characters, use your body, and engage your audience with hilarious authenticity. You'll have a stage, occasional props, and real-time supportive feedback to help enhance your improv skills through warm-ups and a variety of improv games. We'll also venture onto the CHuCKLES real-world stage to perform live!
$10/workshop or $30/month (4 workshops + showcase performance), includes admission to Improv Showcase.
PUBLIC SPEAKING
Learn to expect the unexpected!
Did you know the skills associated with improv are great for public speaking or overcoming stage fright?
It's completely true!
Whether or not you ever want to appear live on stage as a performer, the techniques you learn in improv can drastically enhance your delivery in front of any audience, both at work and in personal settings.
Improv provides the foundation, stand up adds material.
Talk with us to create a personal training plan tailored to your needs.
CREATIVE WRITING
Tuesday afternoons & Saturday mornings
Need motivation or support in getting your words on paper or selling them?
Writers write, but sometimes it's difficult to keep the words flowing and/or maintain confidence in your work.
Our weekly format can provide the focus you need.
Participants are encouraged to bring at least 10 new pages of material each week to share and receive real-time constructive feedback within a supportive critique framework. (Beverages provided for core group workshops.)

Small, intimate core groups
First things ‘FIRSTS’ approach
A supportive, constructive feedback methodology
$5/workshop or $20/month (unlimited workshops), includes beverage.
