Why use Comedy?
Work-related stress accounts for over a third of all new incidences of ill health and in 2005 12.8 million days were lost due to stress*.
Laughter stimulates the release of good hormones in your brain, which can improve your immune system and reduce stress so by booking a comedy workshop you can de-stress staff while helping team building and boosting morale!

Promoting Transferable Skills
Comedians are constantly using subtle team building techniques in their profession. Dealing with a rowdy audience requires the comic to react to the situation, address the problem areas, and ultimately unite the audience. These are all skills that can easily be transferred to the workplace to improve communication and make your office more efficient.
''The number 1 fear in the UK is public speaking. The number 2 fear is death! "That means that most people would rather be in the coffin than reading the eulogy!" Jerry Seinfeld
Having confidence when speaking in front of a crowd is something that comedians appear to have naturally. Our comedians will show your team the tricks and techniques that give the impression of confidence and will hide those nerves away.
Using 2 top stand up comedians with over 20 years stage experience between them, Funny Business workshops will help to galvanise your team spirit and improve interpersonal skills. Our comedians have experience of delivering comedy training with schools, hospitals and businesses so don't worry, we will be throwing everyone into the shallow end at the same time!
