Comedy Club

About us:
We’re the funniest group on campus! We do any and all things funny, improv, sketches, stand up, goofs, you name it! We meet twice a week, once for Improv Club and once for Write Club. Come to one or both!

Improv Club: We do improv at weekly meetings, both Canadian Improv Games-style and Whose Line Is It Anyways-style. If you did improv at high school, or if you’re interested in learning good performance skills then come on down! No previous experience required. We’ve been asked to do workshops for business clubs on improv skills too! It’s a great way to work on staying cool under pressure. We also do shows!

Write Club: This is where the written word gets awesome. Here we write sketches, videos, stand-up and anything else. It’s smaller, laid back and packed with hilarity. Looking to workshop a short play you’ve written? Punch up a sketch? Make a hilarious YouTube video? WE DO IT ALL. It’s a great place to practice creative writing and collaborative stuff. The best part? We have a huge show where we put it all on!

The Improv Team: This is a dedicated group of students who represent Western in competitions around Southern Ontario and Quebec against other schools (Such as McGill, Brock and UofT). We hold try-outs in October, and have a final team of 8-10 people. We do plenty of training sessions beforehand though, and have taken on people who did improv at high school and people who just started. Come on out! Follow our instagram for more information @westerncomedyclub!
