Get your team laughing,
connecting,
and actually enjoying being together.
Keynotes and workshops on failure, perfectionism, and engagement, built on 30 years in professional clowning, comedy, and corporate training. For audiences from 50 to 5,000.
Drawing on 20+ years of professional improv, comedy and facilitation, I create a safe, inclusive, and no-pressure environment where everyone, from introverts to extroverts, can participate in ways that feel comfortable and fun.

Team Building Mindmeld
The “anti-team-building” team-building experience.
Fun, easy group games and collaboration challenges get teammates laughing, interacting and connecting without cheesy icebreakers or forced participation.
Great for teams that want to build camaraderie, welcome new people, reconnect, or simply have a genuinely fun hour together.

PowerPoint Karaoke
Present a slide deck you've never seen before.
Participants improvise presentations using unexpected, business-appropriate slide decks while their teammates cheer them on. It's playful, fast-moving and surprisingly effective at getting a group laughing together.
No presentation or improv experience required.

Down to Clown
Let's get weird.
Explore play, authenticity and connection through accessible exercises inspired by my professional clown and improv background.
It's not about red noses or performing. It's about dropping the professional armor for a little while, taking playful risks and discovering how much fun it can be to let your particular weirdness show.
Zero experience necessary.

Improv Ideation

Ideal for teams that want a fun shared experience with a little creative workout built in.
