Improv Comedy: Two words that can mean so much more than you ever imagined. In this basic improv class, Stefan Gearhart of Damaged Goods Improv challenges you to open your mind and realize the endless possibilities improvisation has to offer.
In this workshop, he’ll teach you basic improv skills, such as how to incorporate a beginning, middle and end to your scene, how to create quick characters, and how to think quick and have fun!
He’ll also teach you some of the secrets behind Damaged Goods’ signature high energy style that has taken them around the country.
Stefan Gearhart has been officially performing improv for the better part of 16 years. He has a BFA in Theatre from Western KY University but it was there that he discovered improv by joining Kentucky’s Longest Running Improv Troupe, Happy Gas Improv. He later went on to learn and perform as much improv as humanly possible, even at one point breaking a world improv record, with improv troupe, SPF7 in Seaside, FL, as they performed 72 straight hours of improv comedy! IN 2010 Stefan and Parker Bowles created Damaged Goods Improv and has been having a blast ever since. Stefan has also been teaching improv for 10 years, teaching high energy/theatrical improv comedy as well as short form show hosting.

"Stefan really knows how to relate to you and push you past your fears and misconceptions." - Dr. Michael Pisanni
