Have you ever wanted to try improv, but weren’t ready to purchase a class?
Do you want to practice skills with other improvisers? Are you interested
in meeting new people? Then HOT JAM Is for you!
Host Sam Dee (Share-apy <http://www.shareapyshow.com>, NICE TRY Variety Show
<https://www.facebook.com/nicetryvarietyshow/>, Improv Death Match) has the
keys to Mahall’s apartment space & is ready to see your creative minds at
work! We will explore elements of an improv class, workshop & jam so that
all levels can enjoy themselves! HOT JAM aims to make improv accessible &
provide a fun, friendly, safe and supportive environment where people can
enjoy performing.

Drop-in is $5 and all money goes toward funding the Mass Hysteria Comedy
Fest an upcoming Cleveland comedy festival on October 4th, 5th and 6th
created by women, for everyone!

Mahall’s Apartment is through the bar, left of the kitchen, a quick jaunt
up 2 flights of stairs & the first door to your left! A sign will be posted
to help guide you, so don’t worry.

*CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PERFORMERS*
*1. Relax. *Don’t take anything personally. Every bad scene is a learning
opportunity.
*2. Check Expectations. *THIS IS A JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE. Don’t go into the
Jam thinking you need to do your best work. Have fun, make bold choices and
be weird!
*3. Paws Off. *If you don’t know your fellow Jammers that well, do not
attempt kissing, hitting, lifting, licking, pushing, pulling, or any other
contact unless consent is given. Even then, err on the side of caution.
Nobody wants to leave feeling creeped out.
*4. Be Positive. *“Yes, And” is the heart of improv. Arguing with someone
you don’t know will kill the scene. You are trying to improvise with
someone & you are also making a real first impression on another human
being. Always be respectful.
*6. No Steamrolling.* Listen to your partner & take what is offered. Do
your best to be reactionary don’t try to think of a funny joke! It takes
you out of the moment and into your head.
7. *Being "edgy" is not a guaranteed laugh. *Scenes about rape, pedophilia,
mocking disabilities, race, gender or sexual orientation will be cut. These
are topics not worth trying to justify. Play at the top of your
intelligence.
