Get Riffed is a performance based class that focuses on stage presence, ease of riffing, and finding your voice. This 5 week class will be held Monday's from 7:15-9pm at The Shambles Bar.
Class will meet four Monday's in a row with the fifth class being a showcase.
This performance based class helps students get comfortable on stage and focuses on riffing techniques and writing jokes through the form of improvising sets on stage.
