Perfect Liars Club presents How to Tell Funnier Stories with Jeff Simmermon
Aimed at storytellers and comics with some stage time under their belt, this workshop provides tools and insight on how to make your stories funnier; how to use humor to control the tone in more serious stories; and how to improve your timing and phrasing so your jokes work every time. Bring 5-7 minutes worth of material to workshop with Jeff and your classmates and leave with a tighter, more polished, and more hilarious piece.

About Perfect Liars Club
Launched in 2013, Perfect Liars Club quickly became one Washington, DC's hottest storytelling nights. The show's premise is simple but unique: Four people tell four stories. All are captivating, but only three are true. Listen. Laugh. Suspect. Interrogate. Vote. Are you shrewd enough to spot the liar?
The stories are hilarious but the interrogation is even better: you never know what questions will be asked or what evidence will be demanded of our storytelling suspects by the audience in its determined quest to spot the liar.
