β£οΈ Last Session Tomorrow!
Hi funny people,
Our last Cathartic Laughs session will be tomorrow, Saturday Dec 9th.
Over the past few years we have gathered every other week to swap jokes, give constructive feedback and share updates on what life is throwing at us. I have a massive amount of appreciation for everyone who has joined in.
Special appreciation goes to Adora Nwofor, who set the tone of these sessions with her love of comedy, open approach to facilitation and willingness to address challenging issues.
These sessions are on pause with no set time to start up again. I am making an effort to slow down in my life, so am taking a step back from some of my commitments, including hosting this group.
We heard from folks in the community that there is interest in maintaining connection in some way, shape or form. You will remain on this email list (you can always unsubscribe at the bottom of any email) and if we get something going, we will email you to let you know.
Next Workshop
We will see you tomorrow, Saturday December 9th at 10:00 AM PST on Zoom for our last informal joke writing meetup. You can come even if you don't have goals or jokes you are actively working on, you can join in and give feedback to others.
Stay funny and see you tomorrow!

Cathartic Laughs Comedy, Events & Workshops by Em Cooper CHECK OUT UPCOMING SHOWS! Photo of Em Cooper by Chelsey Stuyt Hey friends, How are you? I've been storytelling to tourists on bus tours lately, and am starting to get the hang of things. In my last newsletter, I wrote about my goal to weave stories and history that are complex and not easy into my tours, as well as keep the sense of fun going. I'm humbled to say that it is a more challenging thing to do than I originally thought. First...
Cathartic Laughs Comedy, Events & Workshops by Em Cooper CHECK OUT UPCOMING SHOWS! Photo of Em Cooper by Chelsey Stuyt Tourists are Teaching me to Get to the Point Over the past two months, I have been learning how to drive a bus. I got my Class 2 license and trained up how to give bus tours around Vancouver to tourists. I have given walking tours previously, but when walking, you can stop at a building, talk about it's history and move on. In a bus, you have 10 seconds to tell a story before...
Cathartic Laughs Comedy, Events & Workshops by Em Cooper CHECK OUT UPCOMING SHOWS! Photo of Em Cooper by Chelsey Stuyt Hey friends, How are you? How's your brain and heart coping with the news of late? It's rough. I have found that as news gets more overwhelming, my comedy has become increasingly silly as a way to process and to just take a break. Perhaps the GOAT of silly stand-up is Chris Fleming, whose new special Live at The Palace is out on Crave/HBO Max. I'm late to finding Chris'...
