Aspiring comics, comedy fans and those simply interested in trying something new will find a variety of opportunities to learn, perform and collaborate with Excused Absence Comedy!

Formerly known as Move Your Tale, we have changed our name to reflect an increased focus on middle and high school students. Fans of Move Your Tale, don’t fret. MYT remains our program for preschool and early elementary comics.

In addition to year round classes and shows, we host Excused Absence Comedy Festival, a yearly comedy festival featuring performances, workshops and social events for youth performers, educators and comedy fans.
