Intro to Improv Comedy Workshop with Nick Carrillo (Jersey Improv Lab)
Wednesday April 29, May 6, 13, and 20 | 6-9pm
Jersey Improv Lab is launching a four-week, beginner-friendly improv comedy workshop designed for adults.
This series focuses on the fundamentals of improv comedy, including listening, character work, and long-form scene-building. No experience is required, and there is no final showcase or homework. By the end of the four weeks, you’ll have a strong foundation in the basics of improv comedy (including scene and character building) and feel more comfortable speaking up, thinking on your feet, and trusting yourself in social and professional situations — all without ever feeling like you’re “performing.”
Light refreshments will be provided.
The workshop is capped at 15 participants to maintain a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
Fee: $275 ( get an additional 10% off with the promo code SYMPOSIA)

Bliss @ Symposia!
Friday May 8 | 7-10pm
Formed out of their collective appreciation for the muddy, gritty, and lush psychedelic sounds of the 60s, The Bliss Menagerie is Fuzz Boy (Danny Cali), Gonzo Bahoo (Greg Sirico), and Goosman (Ayman Kandil).
Blending their melodic sensibilities with a penchant for experimentation, the trio’s sound is as evocative as it is refreshed—drawing inspiration from the likes of King Gizzard, Love, The Doors, The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Thee Oh Sees, The Elephant 6 Collective and countless other acts.
What started as a one-off session quickly became a steady collaboration with no greater goal than to continue writing songs and playing their music live. More to come soon from Nowhere, USA.
