Short Form, Long Form, Musical Improv, and more!
"How do you do that?" … "I could never do something that risky." … "You're all so quick. My brain doesn't work that way." … "Whatever those people are doing seems terrifying...but maybe it could help me with that upcoming work presentation...?"
As improv comedians, we've heard all these statements (and others) from people who are intrigued by the concept of "making stuff up" but think they'd never be able to do it. But that's simply not the case.
Improv is a learned art form that provides structure, exercises and teamwork to help individuals grow their confidence, work better together, and most importantly, feel perfectly at home in their own skin.
In Hashtag Comedy's improv classes, students will:
Learn the power of YES!
Explore the concept of "embracing their weird"
Develop confidence and stage presence (that translates far beyond the stage!)
Study and learn improv concepts, theories and games
Discover how to connect with themselves and others with greater authenticity and ease
If you want to take these principles and become an improv comedian...great! Our classes will support you in beginning (or continuing your comedy journey).
If not, that's great, too! We welcome students of all levels, ages and occupations. Improv is a foundational life skill that sticks with you long after you've left the classroom or stage. In fact, we know it can make you a better boss, parent, co-worker, friend and human.
Core improv classes
We currently offer four core improv classes that build on the skills learned in the prior level. These classes run for 6 weeks and end with a showcase performance in the 7th week. No prior experience is needed to start in our program at Level 1.
Level 1 Intro to Improv
Level 2 Intro to Scenework
Level 3 Advanced Scenework
Level 4 Intro to Longform

We also offer masterclasses that focus on specific improv skills, such as object work, character creation, and more. These are usually one-day, three-hour classes offered once a month.
