May 2026Bull Work - Improv Open Jam
Bull Skit Comedy’s Open Jam – a welcoming, low-pressure space to explore the joy of improv in all its spontaneous glory! Whether you're brand new to the stage or a seasoned performer looking to shake off the rust, this jam is all about play, connection, and building the basics.
We’ll warm up with simple exercises rooted in the foundations of improv: listening, agreement ("Yes, and!"), character creation, and collaborative storytelling. From there, we’ll open up the floor to try out scenes, games, and maybe even a few wild experiments. No scripts. No pressure. Just laughter, learning, and letting go.
Always the 1st and 3rd SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH!
