A clown doctor, off to train doctor trainers’, wearing a new pair of trainers. Work that one out!
The theme for the GP conference is myth, magic and legend and I have lots of magical tips and tricks for the art of comedy ready to engage the delegates. Comedy training techniques can be limitlessly versatile - just as well - I have a highly-charged imagination that travels faster than the speed of light from a witches wand - hey! Oh, and it’s Friday 13 March – lucky day for me to head off to the very lovely Cornish coast to whip up some spells and laughter! I wonder if we'll channel King Arthur or a dragon or two?
Last week I was training MA creative arts practitioners on the art of bringing humour into their practices. I am enjoying the comedy interventions in the educational and medical worlds. They love it too!
Looking ahead, I am working on delivering further workshops that use humour to tackle climate change. Not only the issues of the world warming up but also the anxiety that this brings.
And more good news – my next comedy course is sold out! Just sorting out another 6 week course for June / July on my events page at maggieirving.com so keep an eye out.
Our last Exeter comedy Mash-Up in support of International Women's Day - with all women performers, also sold out, and we were able to raise some money for the SAFE Foundation - so thanks to all who took part and came along.
If you're keen to do some comedy before I finalise the new courses - get in touch. Or there's another pre-gig workshop followed by a Mash-Up on Thursday 24 April - take a look.
As usual, a huge thanks for your support from Maggie and the team :)
