Exploring Improv
SUNDAY NIGHT IMPROV
A “unique” (Time Out New York), “wonderful” (Backstage), “hilarious” (Newark Star-Ledger) comedy jam session – continues its run of Sunday performances on the Upper West Side at the StandUp NY Comedy Club at 236 West 78th Street, just off Broadway, every Sunday at 6pm. Admission is $10. Reservations: 212-353-7716.
The “jam,” which began in 1993, mixes and matches experienced improvisers from a wide variety of successful New York City improv troupes. The fluctuating cast members are all alumni of – or current performers at – such groups/theater companies as Chicago City Limits, First Amendment, The Unusual Suspects, The PIT, and UCB Theater. Regular performers include Tom Carrozza, Chris Griggs, Ian Prior, Carl Kissin, Rosemary Hyziak, Todd Cowdery, Amy Wilkinson, Larry Bell, Camille Theobold, Alex Berkowitz, and Tom Soter as “The Emcee.”
We offer workshops every Sunday afternoon from 4:30-5:30pm

Yes, And…
THE POWER OF “YES”
Learning how to say “yes and” changed my life. Too often, we are not given permission to be creative, whether it’s at work – when a colleague shoots down a half-formed idea rather than building on it – or at home – where you may find you’re battling with your spouse...
