This class is limited to 16 students.

Technique (Sharpen The Knives)

After Level 1, you will have learned all the basic tools you need to do musical improv. Level 2 will delve more deeply into technique to fine tune your skills. We'll be going deep into effective scene work, strategic gifting, complex song structures, confident characters, rapping and rhyming, nailing genre, improved musicality, and polished choreography. This class will push you to grow and prepare you for higher quality shows, all while having tons of silly fun. 

This class culminates in a performance for the public.

Testimonials:

Katy Berry is so funny, just her teaching the class will make you laugh more than some actual comedy shows. Every week as soon as I walked out the door, I couldn't wait for next time. Literally the most fun class I have ever taken, comedy or otherwise!

This class is SO challenging and SO much fun. I knew every week I was going to come to class and laugh until I cried at least once. You really get tossed off the deep end and are surprised when you are able to swim as a group so quickly.
