What is The Improv Workplace Challenge? Well, believe it or not, there are skeptics in the world regarding the useful application of improv comedy exercises within the workplace. In order to prove these skeptics wrong, Terry Withers has begun casting for an exciting new web series that promises to use improv comedy exercises to resolve even the most challenging workplace issues!​

1) I worked for a company with many locations in the same county and we kept sending new hires to the wrong location for their first day.

2) Nobody at my company understands our shared internal document management platform.

3) People are willing to come back into the office following a government-mandated shutdown but are strongly resistant to maintaining our old dress code.

(and of course, the ubiquitous)

4) I have a really difficult co-worker….​

The thorniest challenges will be selected and then fully SOLVED using a tried and true improv comedy technique. Instead of using actors, Learning & Development / HR professionals trained in the application of improv comedy by The Radical Agreement Project will perform the improv exercises that will solve the problems. The results will be recorded and released as a web series late this Spring.​

Challenge submissions are due no later than 4/10/21 and can be submitted using the form on this page. Any parties interested in performing in the videos may also volunteer their acting talents. All participation is 100% Free!​

Will the application of improv comedy prove victorious in this impossibly ambitious challenge. The world waits with bated breath for the answer. Regardless, the video project is sure to provide some good laughs and some great insights into the nature of collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
