Chill Comedy Class (Ages 12-14)Level: 1

Chill Comedy Class offers a calm, easy-going environment where students can explore improvisation and comedy at their own pace. We believe you are the expert in your own comfort, and we encourage you to let us know what you need to enjoy the improv experience in a way that feels right for you. Bring along your fidgets, headphones, blankets, cozy chairs—whatever helps you stay CHILL while discovering fun, creative ways to play improv comedy games.

This is a judgment-free zone where all types of learners are welcome. If you’re looking for a space that honors your boundaries, supports your comfort, and encourages creativity, this could be the perfect fit.

This class might be right for you if:

· You want to try improv comedy without the pressure to perform.

· You connect with others but find sensory needs can make loud spaces overwhelming.

· You’re looking for a safe, supportive environment with tips and ideas from the instructor.

· You benefit from strategies like visual schedules, demonstrations, timers, or more processing time.

· You want a space where your boundaries are respected, whether it’s avoiding certain topics or skipping handshakes.

· You believe in the platinum rule: treat others the way they want to be treated.

· You want a chill, creative space with fellow chill humans.
