BCAF 2016 Workshop: Let's Face It: Crowd Work That Works with Jenny Zigrino

Workshop description:
Lets face it. Crowd work is an invaluable skill for comics. When it's bad, it's bad. But when it's good, it's electric! With this workshop, you'll learn tips and tricks from Jenny on crowd work, dealing with hecklers, drunks, bachelorette parties, and having fun with your audience. The first hour is discussion based while the 2nd hour will have a real audience in attendance to exercise your skills. Jenny Zigrino has been performing all over the country with her unique style of wit, characters, and crowd interaction. As a host for Rogue Burlesque, she spent countless hours entertaining off script with her audience. She was recently a finalist on TBS's comedy show Funniest Wins and will be performing on FOX in the fall. She has been featured in the Riot LA Comedy Festival and the New York Comedy Festival as 2013's Comedy Central's Comics to Watch.
