Have a Laugh with Comedian Megan Nager

Everyone’s funny bone could use some tickling now and again, and a new comed y outlet in Martin County is here to help. Upon relocating to Jensen Beach after a stint in Los Angeles, comedian Megan Nager noticed there wasn’t a place for comedy north of West Palm Beach. The South Florida native soon partnered with the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce to bring some laughs to the area.

“It is a unique initiative that brings improv comedy to Martin County professionals looking to sharpen their communication, boost listening skills, and become more adaptable in everyday conversations,” says Nager of Pineapple Laughs , the introduction to improv class being offered at the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce. “Whether you’re a seasoned comedian or a total newbie, we will help you master the art of comedy in a fun, dynamic way.”

Nager, who is a SAG actor and CEO of Wake and Make Media, incorporates techniques she learned in her training with the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe in L.A. into the classes she leads in Jensen Beach. She starts with basic concepts such as “Yes, and…” (a rule of improv where performers are always supposed to “go with the flow” and say yes to anything another performer says to build upon the scene), active listening, spontaneity, and character work. Class participants play improv games, practice icebreakers, create scenes based off of one-word audience suggestions, recite monologues, and experiment with body language, accents, and different personas.
