Improv for Couples - Saturday, October 4th

Grab your partner and spend an afternoon laughing, listening, and seeing each other with fresh eyes. Then stick around for an awesome date night (on us*)!

Couples reported that they felt more connected, more supported, more heard, and better able to work as a team after just one week of playing an improv game together for 5 minutes a day! Come see how the art of improvisation can make you a better partner, a better communicator, and just a more fun person to be around. We guarantee it’ll be the most fun date you’ve had in years!

Saturday, October 4th 4:30-6:30 p.m.

*includes two tickets to 7pm Third Coast Comedy Show

NOTE: While this course was created with couples in mind, romance is not a requirement. The focus is on listening, communication and play. Platonic besties welcome!
