Bobbie is Turning 40!
Save the date-Saturday, June 7 @ 8pm-Bobbie and Chris' 40th Birthday Party! Whoo Hoo!! I know it's hard to believe because we look so damn good (especially me), but Chris and I are turning 40 this year. On top of that, I finish my Masters degree on my birthday, AND June marks my 20th year in comedy (I started about a week before my 20th birthday), so we have a reason to celebrate!
This year's theme is Punk Rock. So, start looking for your party gear now. I will send you all invitations by email with my address later, but mark your calendar and come party with us!
Classes Start March 29!
Next session starts March 29, 30, 31! Remember, it's only $250 for returning students. Hit me up and let me know which class you want. You can choose from Saturday or Sunday 12-3 or Monday nights at 7pm. My phone is ringing from my new ads, so save your spot today!
Also, check out the info on the new Improv class below! I don't have the details yet, but it will be on the weekend and hopefully starting really soon. Hit me up if you are interested (read more below in this blog).
The Grad Shows were Awesome!

New Improv Workshop!
The Improv workshop with our own John Fontaine was a huge success!! We had a GREAT time and a big turnout. I had so much fun stepping out of my comfort zone and learning new skills. I will definitely be adding an Improv class to our roster. I will get back with you with more details. In the meantime, check out some of the pics from the workshop at the link below and read the awesome things people had to say about the class. 
More Pics: Here are some quotes from the Improv workshop: "Fontaine is fantabulous! I'll take anything he teaches!" "I haven't had this much fun since the first time I tasted sugar!" "This workshop was amazing! I'm ready to sign up today." "So fun it felt sinful." "I love the way the teacher involved everyone." "This class was absolutely fabulous!" John Fontaine was... "...extremely skilled and talented."
"...had lots of great historical knowledge.""...made me feel very comfortable." "I love the classical nature of his background." "John, please teach our family to be as good as you!"
