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.

The 16th edition of the Harmony Geneva Marathon for Unicef takes place on 9th & 10th May 2020.  In 2019, more than 138 global destinations signed up for one of the eight events and discovered the course in the countryside nestled between mountains and the shore of Lake Geneva before finishing in the heart of the city in front of the famous Jet d’Eau.

Runners will stream through the countryside, following a route renowned for its beauty, nestled between the shores of lake Geneva and snow-capped peaks of the Alps and Jura mountains. The closing stretch takes participants through the heart of Geneva before crossing the finish line on the Pont du Mont-Blanc, with a stunning view of the famous Jet d’Eau in the distance.

On Saturday 9th May, a number of other race formats will be available for both juniors and adults. These include the 10km open to runners and walkers, La Genevoise #LikeAGirl by Always 6km race for women and the Junior Races.
