We hope everyone is keeping safe and helping to slow the spread of Coronavirus by staying home (where possible). We know things are difficult right now, so if anyone is looking for some laughs, or a distraction from working at home, we are running some digital shows and drop-ins this week.
We are also live-streaming ComedySportz shows from our houses. We're doing lunchtime shows 12.30-1.30pm on Wednesday 25th and Friday 27th and an evening show on Saturday 28th at 7pm. If popular we hope to stream more shows in the coming weeks.
We'll be posting the streaming links into the Facebook events shortly before the shows are scheduled to begin. You can add yourself to the Facebook events or subscribe to our YouTube channel (where the shows will be streamed) to get notifications when we go live. We hope at some point to use the technology to do shows with ComedySportz players worldwide!
Shows are free to watch but donations are welcome - with proceeds used to support our players, many of whom are self-employed and have lost paid work due to Coronavirus. Donations are entirely voluntary and there is no obligation.
This week we are running a Digital Drop-In on Joke based/Pun games. Digital drop-ins will cost just £5 and the first will be 3-5pm on Saturday 28th March. You can register for the class here.
We will then send you a link that will go live shortly before the class starts. We're hosting these classes through zoom so you may want to download their app ahead of time. Its free to set up an account.
We will be adding more in the coming weeks and will continue to review the situation in line with official guidelines. However, it is reasonable to assume that venues will be closed for some time. Of course we hope to be able to host workshops in person soon but these sessions will be a chance to laugh and learn together until then!
If you have any questions about the digital Drop-Ins or shows then please do get in touch. Keep an eye on our social media for regular updates or join our mailing list.
Remember! Keep practicing social distancing. Stay home, save lives, don't touch people's stuff and keep laughing.
