I signed up for acting classes then felt sick at the idea. Loved it. Signed up for more. Felt sick every time and loved it each time. It was so good for getting me out of my head, for being creative in a way the “didn’t matter” (really) and for practising being brave somewhere inconsequential. It also improved my communication skills too. After a year of on and off courses I’m done for a while not but I’m so glad I did them.

Love the idea. Have long thought about trying an improv class. In fact, nearly had a panic attack during my 35th birthday adventure - thought my brother and good friend were pranking me with an improv day. Need to get over myself and just do it!

Also let's get all the NY writers together please!

I'm sold! I live in Vienna and have been contemplating going to a comedy improv...class? get-together? They refer to it as a "meet-up," which sounds contrived, but...I figure why not?

The thing is, I don't have much desire to get out and meet people, I'm a bit of a misanthrope (haha), love my own company (I'm a single father and totally content with things, not looking to meet anyone at all). But still, it sounds intriguing.
