others laugh.. Then you really need to come down ” says The Comedy Emporium’s Ringleader
Julian Canny.

The program aims to develop local talent and entertainment, while building self esteem,
confidence, and problem solving abilities. Youth Improv workshops are open to everyone aged
between 13 and 18, they operate weekly on a Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00pm. The
adults troupe practice once a fortnight 7:30pm 9pm beginning on the 10th of February.

workshops per term, students have plenty of opportunity to showcase their talents to an
audience and build friendships within the troupe.” says Ringmistress Jody Quadrio who leads
The Comedy Emporium’s Improv Troupes.

Sessions begin with icebreakers and team building activities to get participants comfortable, and are followed by physical and vocal warm ups. Attendees are taught performance basics like voice projection and stage presence, and the basics of improvquick thinking, the art of
punchlines, and working with other players, through different improv games.
