A Sketch is a comedic exploration of a concept, character, or situation through a written work. This work is then performed on stage. Whether writing, performing, or both, Sketch comedy can be a very meaningful social activity.
It can also just be for fun.

Stand Up Comedy
The long standing tradition of Stand Up Comedy has deep roots in American culture. Stand Ups typically engage in a conversational monologue with the audience through stories, bits, one-liners, or prepared jokes. Stand Up can sharpen your wit, force you to look at things differently, and help you develop a disciplined work ethic.
