Great characters make great comedy!

Letterkenny, Kids in the Hall, Trailer Park Boys, The Baroness von Sketch Show.

Notice a pattern?

Canadians are particularly good at creating great comic characters. You can be, too!

This Improv Character Intensive is a great introduction to simple character creation methods you can use to supercharge your work on stage.

We all have different hats we wear every day – slightly different versions of ourselves – for different circumstances and situations. There's no reason you can't wear a different hat in every improv comedy scene!

At the end of these two classes, you will have the tools you need to create comic characters you can call upon whenever you want and to create them instantly, on the spot during shows.

This 6-hour course (over 2 Thursdays) is open to all levels of improvisers, actors, and writers. The simple exercises and games you play will help you develop rich comedic characters for performance.

Jerry Schaefer is a professional actor and comedian with over 20 years experience teaching for Second City and Staircase Improv. You may have seen his character work with The Kids in the Hall, or on The Red Green Show, where he played local animal control officer Ed Frid – a man deathly afraid of all living things.
