Now in its third year, the College of Comedy is the perfect antidote to the summer blahs. Our students spend all week developing and performing their funniest stories while honing their creative writing skills. For five hilarious, creative (and secretly educational) summer days, we have more fun than you can shake a stick at in our safe, nurturing environment.
