Peter Byrne, who is an actor, comedian and teacher of comedy improvisation explained the world of comedy, how to improvise within a scene, comedy and acting techniques and how to land the perfect pun in auditions and on set!! Prop and set making workshop with Kerril Fahy, who worked on Captain America, and World War Z , every student walked away with their own Captain America badge.
