Like Project Runway - we give you surprise unconventional materials & your team makes them into a functional cosplay as determined by our judges. Test your creative prowess & have fun in the process!
Description:
At the start of our event, our panel of judges (GMs) will blindly pick two thematic costumes under a singular category (ex: "Futuristic Villains"). Participants will have to work within their teams to create a cosplay within 45 minutes which best reflects the category. Materials will be provided. The catch is that the teams will not be able to see their materials until the "timer" starts and said material will be unconventional in nature. At the completion of the challenge, our GMs will award the winning team with a modest prize. NOTE: This is the "audience" registration for this event. Please sign up as a "participant" if you would like to compete: Unconventional Cosplay Challenge (Contestant Sign Up / Participation) ENT1691288

Watch Standup Comedy Workshop and Learn by the Gamers of Comedy
Summary:
Watch & learn the art of stand-up comedy by following six performers work on & perform jokes in a safe environment. Learn as they get feedback from working comics on writing & delivering jokes.
Description:
The first hour is where we'll help 6 performers take their comedy to the next level. You'll watch as they get nothing but constructive feedback to prep them for the last hour where you'll watch them perform. Watch and learn! Based on the teachings and hit comedy book, The Tao of Comedy by Bobbie Oliver. The Tao of Comedy approach to stand-up comedy is very organic and extremely positive. The feedback is very detailed and constructive, and while specific to each individual comic, it is placed in real-time and historical context. We provide a safe space to create, experiment and find your own comedy voice. No formulas. No characters. No props. No stringent through-lines. No wacky catch phrases. Just pure stand-up comedy. This ticket allows you to watch the other performers get feedback; if you'd like to perform, please purchase ticket WKS1684118.
