OS25-211 Life, Loss and Laughter
Oklahoma City | Available (Membership Required)
Discover how humor can offer connection, confidence, and even healing. In this uplifting class, a seasoned stand-up comic and improviser shares how laughter helped her thrive in a male-dominated career and how it sustained her through personal grief, the loss of her son. You’ll learn basic improv games and techniques in a supportive, lighthearted environment. No performance experience needed—just a willingness to laugh, share, and explore the joyful (and surprisingly powerful) role humor can play in your own life.
