Now, hear professional comedians complain about it! And after the comedy show, you'll get to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! We'll warm things up with a 45-ish-minute-long comedy show about all things friendship. The highs, the lows, and the delicious jelly-filled middles. Mmmmmm. Then, we'll actually get to meet each other! We're bringing in Skip the Small Talk for a 2ish-hour-long event where we'll pair you up with strangers and have you switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating).
