About this event

COMEDY FOR ORGANIZERS: Hosted by Creative Time and The Action Lab, the aim of this workshop is not to get you a Netflix contract, but rather to help you unlock the contagious power of humor in your life and work as an organizer. Participants will read a few key texts on the potentialities opened up through laughter, its relevance for social change, and spend the bulk of our time writing with and reading to each other. No experience or sense of humor needed. In fact, please leave all joy at home. Only spite and self-seriousness welcome! THAT is what will bring about the revolution!

Note: When you arrive downstairs, please buzz #14 on the buzzer pad and take the elevator to the 7th floor.
