RENEGADE SAINTS – SUNDAY DROP-IN / IMPROV WORKSHOP @ Mr Pickwick Pub
May 24 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
RENEGADE SAINTS - SUNDAY DROP-IN / IMPROV WORKSHOP @ Mr Pickwick Pub

Once a month, from 11:00 am to 13:00 pm, we host drop-in sessions at the Mr Pickwick Pub.

If you’ve watched Whose Line Is It Anyway or seen the Renegade Saints perform and thought, that looks like fun, here’s your chance to join in. It’s barmy, it’s silly and you’ll love it. These sessions are good for anyone, whether you’re looking to laugh off the stress of the week, get a little more self-confidence, or work on some performing skills towards that acting career you’ve always dreamed of.

We’ll do a variety of improv exercises and play a number of games, guaranteed to make you crack a smile. Come along and improvise with us. All levels of experience are welcome! It’s a fantastic way to try improv to see if you enjoy it.

There’s no charge (though any contributions at the end are always welcome). However, places are limited so please sign up here to register.

Hello Wine and Cheese Lovers!

Join L’Atelier du Fromage and wine professional, Marc Checkley, for an interactive Facebook Live Wine and Cheese event featuring the New Apéro Box!
We will taste the artisanal cheeses and wine that we discovered on our road trip through Valais. We carefully selected these artisanal cheeses from a Swiss Cheese Award-winning fromagerie located in the mountains of the Simplon Pass.

Marc will guide us through:
– Tasting the wine and artisanal cheeses of our Apéro Box featuring Valais
– Learning the basics of wine and cheese pairing
– Storytelling – Marc’s incredible knowledge about Valaisian wine and cheese – and of course, our road trip adventures with L’Atelier du Fromage!

Order your Apéro Box at www.latelier-du-fromagch.ch – or join the virtual apéro with any of your favorite cheeses and wine!
