Improvhi is BEYOND excited to bring the respected and famed instructor DAVE RAZOWSKY!

Improvisation and comedy writing are FANTASTIC tools for not only performers, but business minded folks as well! Improv helps you to think on your feet and outside of the box. Improv games and exercises support team building and group mind. Students walk away with more confident in themselves and their product and are ready to take on whatever the world throws at them! Sketch and comedy writing allows a business with true storytelling and how to capture an audience. Think about all the Superbowl commercials you’ve ever seen and which ones REALLY stand out to you. Mostly funny ones…right? Get your creative juices flowing and bring in more customers!
