House Rules

All registrants for classes are required to follow the House Rules below.

Improv is based around the concept of "yes, and" - which requires a respectful and supportive environment to learn and succeed at. We expect everyone will be respectful and supportive of the others in classes, workshops, or other events. In a nutshell - don't be a jerk.
We expect that you will respect the health and well-being of ComedyWorx club members and other members of the public. Proof of vaccination is not required; however, if you are sick - at all, in any way - we expect that you will stay home and not attend that session or workshop. If you attend a class, workshop, or other event and are suspected of being sick, you may be asked to leave and will not be refunded.
You are responsible for the words that come out of your mouth and how they are received. We do not tolerate the "-isms" in our classes, workshops, or other events. Racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, antisemitism, and bias toward groups like members of the LGBTQ+ community is not tolerated. If your words or behavior reflect these biases, you may be asked to leave and will not receive a refund.

Refunds

ComedyWorx will fully refund any class registration when the class is canceled by ComedyWorx or if ComedyWorx makes a change to the dates that prevents a previously registered person from attending. If a person registered for a class requests a refund for reasons other than changes made by ComedyWorx, ComedyWorx will refund the registration amount minus incurred credit card processing fees. In either situation, if the registration is for a recurring class, the person may transfer their registration to a future session without any cost or fees.

If a person registered for a class does not attend the first two sessions and does not contact the instructor, ComedyWorx will automatically refund the registration fee minus incurred credit card processing fees.

If a person registered for a class attends the first and/or second class session and then needs to drop the class, the person will receive a pro-rated refund minus incurred credit card processing fees. There will be no refunds for people needing to drop a class after the third session. Partial class attendance "credits" cannot be transferred to a future class session.

Minimum Class Sizes

In most cases the minimum class size is six students. There are frequently class registrations that come in at the end of the registration period, so please be aware that we will not cancel a class for insufficient attendance until possibly only a day or two prior to the start of that class.

ComedyWorx will make every effort to let students in a class with low registration know several days in advance if the class is in danger of being cancelled for insufficient registrations. If ComedyWorx does need to cancel a class due to insufficient registration, those registered can choose to get a full refund or to transfer their registration to a different class in the same session or a future session (if there is available room in any other class during that session).
