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.
