Feminine Comique (Fem Com) is a Chicago-based class that provides opportunities for cisgender and transgender women of color to use comedy to share and convey their unique stories in an all-female supported environment:

CDPH and FemCom are piloting a free six-week project at the end of March to make the art of storytelling available to a wider audience. This is a beginners workshop and participants do not need any prior comedy or performance experience.

Participants are asked to commit to one two-hour session per week for six weeks. Exact times and locations will be finalized next month with interested participants. Refreshments will be provided at each class.
