The folks from the And I Am Not Lying blog (andiamnotlying.com) cock-rock the NPR crowd with the best underground comedy, storytelling and sideshow acts. Hailing from NYC, this special event crams 15 apeloads of fun into one tent with story and improv workshops, a variety show, free beer and plenty of laughing and shouting.
Learn to open yourself up to sudden, new possibilities – and seize the potential from everything that's right in front of you. You'll learn the rewarding art of creative play, how to surprise yourself and yank your inner comic out of the closet. In this workshop, you'll learn how much fun it can be to say "yes" to everything, to stop being ashamed of your own ideas and to easily improvise a hilarious comic scene. Discover how letting go actually provides you with great control in seemingly crazy situations (applicable to daily life, guaranteed). Coached by Eliza Skinner.
The folks from the And I Am Not Lying blog are cock-rocking the NPR crowd in their new monthly residency in Brooklyn with the best underground comedy, storytelling, burlesque and sideshow acts. This whole thing is about getting together and getting EXCITED, turning the phones off and participating in something that's temporal, raw, and real, cramming a whole aircraft carrier's worth of fun into one tent that's right next to the FREE BEER TENT. Talent will include storytellers, comedians and surprise drop-ins.
