Comedy Improv Games
With Jonathan Slater
*What it’s all about*
Comedy improv games are an amazing way to have fun, laugh and meet people! It’s like play
time for adults and mature teenagers. Game formats range from quick one word ice-breaker
games to longer story driven scenario games. All require participants to react in real time
instead of following a script. Don’t be intimidated! Unlike stand-up comedy where one
person is expected to be funny and make a crowd laugh, the first rule of comedy improve
games is, “don’t try to be funny!” Simply be yourself and let the games bring the fun out of
us all. So please come and join us in an atmosphere of safety, trust and support where we
get silly, bring out the best in each other and have a great laugh while doing so!
*About Jonathan, your games host*
While on a 3-month sabbatical in Dahab, Egypt, Jonathan was bitten by the Improv comedy
games bug. After showing an extraordinary inclination for the games, he was invited to join
the core group of performers. Together they did regular live public performances at one of
Dahab’s most popular nightclubs. Since returning to England Jonathan has shared the fun,
magic and confidence building laughter he enjoyed in Egypt by facilitating workshops at
various events and festivals including Elemental Healing Festival, One Land festival, LoveJam
festival and The Mind Body Spirit Festival at the NEC in Birmingham,
