Chicken Lips has been performing and teaching improv in Denver since 1980 (that’s a quarter of a century!). Our instructors, Bob Wells, LuAnn Buckstein, and Dave Johnson, have over 60 years of improv between them.

Level One Improv – Need an energy lift? Need to be more flexible and spontaneous? Need to raise your "laughter factor"? This is the perfect class for you!

This course will let you experience the “Joy of Improv” through games, structures, and mind jolts. You will learn how the improv performer thinks, invents, listens, yields and cooperates – and how it feels to be completely outrageous.

You will learn the "improv ropes," and you'll discover how improv can improve the world and make you a better person! Seriously. But in a funny way. We mean it. Your life will change. No doubt about it. Guaranteed.

There are currently no classes being offered. Please check back in the near future to find a new class schedule.
