Intersectional Standup Comedy “Wokeshop” with Jo Güstin

January 31 at 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Jo Güstin

Les participant·es exploreront le potentiel comique de la vulnérabilité et s’amuseront à transformer les choses les plus banales en réalités politiques; et après avoir appris l’anatomie d’une blague de standup, on montera sur les planches dans le cadre d’un scène ouverte improvisée.  

Facilitated in French by Toronto-based author, comedian, producer and speaker Jo Güstin (she, her), this standup invites participants to discover the comedic potential of vulnerability; they will playfully transform mundane situations in political reflection and – this is where it becomes fun: they will get to participate in an improvised up open mic.

Admission to this event is $10 and is limited to 12 participants, for ages 15 and up. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
