Comedy workshops

Comedy workshops have been used for a multiple of corporate initiatives. The course can be used as a fun day experience or as a teambuilding exercise involving presentation and writing skills. Emphasis can be placed on different aspects of the course depending on what the delegates want to achieve.

The fun starts with looking at how comedy material is written and the different aspects that go into making a good joke or laugh line. This is done by looking at our own life experiences as an inspiration to create relevant funny material.

Magic skills

There is nothing more exciting than watching a skilled Magician perform something amazing in front of your eyes. 'How did you do that?' is the normal response. Now you have a chance to find out and learn a simple trick to show and amaze your friends. One of our talented corporate magicians will instruct and show you how. The course has often been used as a half day session based around presentation skills and ending with delegates presenting their new found talents to others.

Fun in the office

The culture of organisations has a great bearing on whether employees enjoy their work. Negative environments produce negative results.

That is why forward thinking managers who identify problems early, try to create a positive fun environment which produces positive results. Our team will design a programme of activities that enhance fun in the office. By carrying out a feasibility study where recommendations are made towards making the office / company a more pleasant place to work in.
