Come and explore what makes you funny in this workshop hosted by Marny Godden.

This workshop isn’t about putting on face paint, big floppy shoes and joining the circus. Neither is it about crafting witty punchlines and clever ideas. This is about exploring what it is that makes you uniquely funny, from the inside out.

We may be relying on what we think is funny about us but getting no laughs. Through clowning we come to realise that what’s funny about us comes out of the moment, not from any preconceived ideas.

Sometimes we have an impulse to say or do something but a little voice inside our head stops us. “Don’t do that, you’ll look stupid.” But in doing so we lose our childlike sense of play. Clowning is the antidote to this. You’ll be encouraged to follow your impulses and embrace being as stupid as possible! This is where you lose yourself and find yourself… and have fun in the process.

In this workshop you’ll be guided through a series of fun games and exercises using your body, voice and imagination. They are all designed to unlock your natural ability to make people laugh.

There is no one like you. Only you hold the key to what is funny about you and I’m here to help you find it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A wonderful place to play and laugh, no matter what workshop it is. The people who go are so much fun and I love the social aspect of going for a drink afterwards and feeling part of a community. A wonderful thing to exist in a city where it’s hard to build real connections.” Claudia Colvin

Organised by

The Fun Fed is a London based playful events company who since 2005 has created opportunities for people to shake off the day.

We do that by running uplifting and unusual music, dance and games sessions every week that act as an antidote to the seriousness of everyday London life. Wholesome escapism is what we call it.

Old school playground games are The Fun Fed's trademark sessions. But stopping at Games would be boring right? So whether it’s Djembe Drumming, BellyBolly or perhaps Soul Singing, you’ll be sure to find some pretty inventive ways to be entertained and uplifted with us.

At The Fun Fed we pride ourselves on our network of friendly facilitators, ones who’ve mastered their crafts and love working with people.

We’ve worked with big venues such as the Southbank Centre on a young peoples’ rights festival and with small organisations such as St Paul’s Cancer on staff wellbeing sessions. You can find us on Radio 4 talking about the positive impact of our work and also at International festivals like Counterplay running interactive Play & Authenticity sessions. In a way you could say we’re serious about play.

The Fun Fed believes that through playfulness and discovery we can lead happier, more fulfilling lives. So come join us, and get some wholesome escapism.
