This session
Stop thinking ahead. Start responding.
What happens when you don’t prepare the punchline — and simply go with what’s happening?
This session invites you into a playful, low-pressure exploration of improvisation. Guided, interactive, and open-ended. You’ll be offered simple prompts that unfold in real time, shaped by the group rather than a script.
The exact form stays a surprise. What’s certain is a warm, lively group space where curiosity, listening, and quick reactions matter more than being funny or clever.
No experience needed. You can jump in, take a step back, or just observe when needed. Participation is always opt-in.
Today's guide
This session is guided by a Berlin-based improv comedian and facilitator with experience leading playful, inclusive group formats for people with and without performance backgrounds.
Her approach focuses on creating a light, supportive atmosphere where humour emerges naturally, through listening, spontaneity, and shared moments, rather than pressure or expectations to perform.

What is Uncommon Club?
Uncommon Club creates guided group sessions built around shared novelty, doing something unfamiliar together, in a way that feels safe, human, and intentional.
We believe that when people step into a new experience at the same time, without knowing exactly what will happen, habits soften, curiosity opens, and connection becomes more natural.
That’s why Uncommon Club sessions are:
carefully guided and consent-led,
designed around presence rather than performance,
and kept partly a surprise.
What Uncommon Club is, and isn’t
Uncommon Club is:
✅ A guided, facilitator-led group experience
✅ Focused on curiosity, embodiment, and human connection
✅ Structured, consent-led, and psychologically safe
Uncommon Club is not:
❌ A party or club night
❌ An intense fitness class
❌ A networking event
❌ A sexual setting
❌ Therapy, counselling, or treatment

Phase 5️⃣ — Closing & Connection
