Local news: Avish Parashar

Bucks County [Pennsylvania] Courier Times profiles Avish Parashar, who leads improv comedy workshops for businesses: Funny business is his trade

Parashar, who served as both artistic director and business manager of Polywumpus, tailors his presentations to his clients. He might conduct a less hands-on presentation for a large group or more inter-activity with smaller groups. But he always addresses two main fundamentals: creativity and communication.

"The comedy is more of the vehicle of delivery than the objective," he said. "What comedy does is keep the energy up. People learn better when they're laughing and enjoying themselves."
