Our October Improv Retreat is going to be here before you know it and with the retreat almost Sold Out, we’d like to introduce you to your improv teachers who you’ll be playing with this year. Next up, our smasher, Jon Nguyen!
Hey Jon, what’s the feeling like in the Maydays camp the night before the retreat kicks off?
It’s all hands on deck, busy making sure we have all the bits and books which make the retreat super fun and super easy for all our wonderful students. Batteries, chargers, bags, anything we can think of frankly, we pack it in and bring it with us!
For someone that has never been before & is tempted to join us in October, but is feeling a little nervous to push that Book Now button, what advice would you give?
For those returning to the retreat for another 3-days of joy, what can they expect from our 15th residential?
They can expect new classes, new instructors, new friends and my luxurious long hair and moustache I have been growing for about 18 months by the time October comes around.
What’s one of the funniest moments from previous years for you?
Watching four Maydays struggle to pick up one Mayday on their shoulders. Not once but twice during a song. It was a spectacular failure.
What’s one of the most magical moments from previous years?
Just seeing people transform in three days. Some being super shy to singing superstars. Some having never done long form to creating pure bliss out the air. I very much enjoyed watching one of our students last year clown around and struggle to pick up a box. Totally wonderful.
Sum up The Maydays Improv Retreat in a little one-liner
