At the end, students had the option create monsters– “Wild Things”– of your own!  Below is the lesson we went over in class.  And below that, is everyone’s work.  Scroll down and have fun reading!

There are very few comedy festivals as prestigious as Montreal’s Just For Laughs, which is why we are pleased to present a showcase show wherein some of our favorite local comedians will be scouted to potentially perform in Montreal this Monday at 8pm!

We want the hottest, jammed packed crowd possible for our comedian debutants at this coming out party (strained analogy, we know) so we’re setting ticket prices at five dollars, a bargain! The lineup is being kept silence until the show, but past New Faces include Kumail NanjianiPete Holmes and Kristen Schaal! What are you waiting for? Get those tickets!

 

BONUS: the High-5 Man! 

Every week, if you come to The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, this is what you get.
