Comedy Classes & Workshops

The Bird Comedy Theater teaches comedy classes through our Training Center, built on the foundations of improvisation.

Improv is more than comedy — it’s collaboration, creativity, and connection. It’s actors, lawyers, and dungeon masters all playing pretend in the same room. And that’s kind of magical.

Whether you’re diving into a full class or just trying a workshop, there’s a way in.

No experience required. Just show up.

We’ll take it from there.
