Recycled Minds Comedy

What do you call an ant who fights crime? A vigilANTe!

If you were already at the Creative Space, hang out a little longer to watch a show! If you need a laugh, or want to learn how to do stand up comedy and interactive performances? This place is perfect for you. Recycled Minds Comedy offers so many opportunities to watch or be part of a show! Even if you don’t want to perform, you can learn how to build more self confidence and work on your communication skills and practice improv! Comedy is a special kind of art, because it’s the vocal ability to engage with an audience, while getting an audible reaction at the same time. I love comedy, and I don’t think anyone can have too much laughter in their lifetime, so get your laugh going, or learn how to create a laugh over here!
