"Fun and uplifting!"
Join creative gurus Beth Lapides & Greg Miller for a life-changing, skill-building, laugh-inducing week at the KRIPALU CENTER in Stockbride, Mass. July 10-15, 2011.
Dig deep and get real as you develop your 7th Sense: your sense of humor.
Beth & Greg's unique blend of comedy and spirituality creates an incredibly safe and supportive environment where you can explore your writing, performance and life skills.
As one student recently said: "Don't do it unless you want to change your life! AND meet the best people and laugh until you pee your pants (sorry,maybe that's just me)!"
E-mail or call Greg directly at 323-717-4731 to find out what the Comedian's Way can do for you and how you can be part of this magical week of self-discovery.
"Now I'm going to go home and fire my therapist!"
Use the Comedian's Way to
- Get over your fear of public speaking
- Create a one-person show
- Work on personal essays
- Personalize your standup
- Develop a memoir
- Put the light in enlightenment
- Find more joy in your daily life
"The best way to sit shiva ever!"
It's important to take yourself seriously, but it's just as important to take yourself lightly. When you can do both at the same time and share it with others, you're practicing the Comedian's Way.

Framed! (Finding the Right Context for Your Work - and the Right Work for Your Context)
Submitted by greg on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 12:07
Beth always opens The Comedian's Way workshop sessions with some inspiring thoughts about the creative process. Here she talks about finding the right context for your work - and how you have to translate a particular piece of material when you adapt it to a different medium or context.
She couldn't do the kind of personal intimate storytelling that she wanted to do in the mainstream comedy clubs and that's why we started Un-Cabaret to begin with.
