Stand-up Comedy

Laugh, think, and engage!

Step out of your comfort zone and open your mind to a very dynamic way of DEI training and engagement. Ibis’s Stand Up for Diversity! workshops are designed to help your organization further its DEI journey by exploring complex issues through humor and storytelling.

Throughout a stand-up comedy routine, audience members experience laughter, insight, and empathy as they hear comical and eye-opening stories about “outsider” experiences in the workplace. Participants get to share their own diversity stories (and everyone has one!) while skilled facilitators help audience members explore their reactions, perceptions, and assumptions. Participants walk away with unique and memorable insights that translate into lasting change.

Our comedians and storytellers weave their own corporate and workplace experiences into their routines, setting up jokes and situations to match your organization’s unique challenges.
