What if your team
took the mic?
Team building starts with your stories.
And brings everyone into the laughter.
Your colleagues have stories you haven’t heard yet. Turn everyday observations and personal anecdotes into comedy as you explore the basics of stand-up: finding an angle, writing a punchline and telling a story.
Write, collaborate and give it a try. A shared creative experience to practice public speaking and discover a different side of your team.

YOUR WORKSHOP LEADER
Arman Mkhytaryan.
Comedian and trainer.
A stand-up comedian and corporate trainer, Arman performs in English and French at Gotham Comedy Club and Comic Strip Live. He also opens for Nino Arial, including the November 18, 2026 show at Secret Room NYC.
After a year of training at Garage Comedy Club and with guidance from Stephen Rosenfield, founder of the American Comedy Institute, Arman brings together his stage experience and his work in professional training.
Throughout the workshop, he helps participants find their angle, sharpen their writing and build their delivery at their own pace.
ACROSS CULTURES
In English. En français.
Or with a bilingual team.
Workshops can be delivered entirely in English or entirely in French. For mixed-language teams, we agree on a shared language and opportunities to work in each language during the planning call.
Everyday life in New York, differences between France and the US and individual habits can all become starting points for comedy. A way for international teams to explore their different experiences together.
A few practical questions
Do I need to be funny or confident on stage?
No. The exercises are designed for beginners. We explore the craft together through simple steps and constructive feedback.
Does everyone have to perform?
No. Performing is optional. Everyone can contribute through writing, sharing ideas or working with a partner.
Can you tailor the workshop to our team?
Yes. A planning call helps us choose the tone and themes. The humor comes from shared experiences and situations; coworkers are not turned into targets.
What is included?
A planning call with the organizer, exercises tailored to your group, facilitation by Arman and a takeaway guide to the techniques covered.
Where does it take place?
At your NYC office, in a quiet room with space for small-group work. An external venue and any technical requirements can be discussed and quoted separately.
What about groups larger than 20?
We adapt the duration, group structure and facilitation in a custom quote so participants still have time to practice and receive feedback.
