About this Event

Detroit Women of Comedy Festival WORKSHOP
Saturday, May 16 —2-3:30PM — ant hall

$25 - Space Limited

Ever replay a performance in your mind long after you’ve left the stage? Feel your shoulders tighten right before you grab the mic? Wonder if the pause was too long — or not long enough? Are you reading this and feeling sweaty right now? Good news! You're not alone.

Breathe, Bend & Be Funny is a playful, grounding yoga and mindfulness experience created for performers to help regulate stage anxiety, strengthen presence, and learn skills that support a smooth recovery in our mind and body-just in case a joke doesn’t land. Blending breathwork, accessible movement, and mindfulness exercises, participants will learn skills to feel centered and connected in high-pressure moments — on stage, in community, and in everyday life.

The Detroit Women of Comedy Festival celebrates and elevates women, trans, and non-binary comedy makers from Metro Detroit and beyond. DWCF strives to honor and amplify marginalized voices across a spectrum of genders and identities and create an inclusive platform for community-building, joy, and collaboration in comedy.

The festival features improv, stand-up, sketch, podcasts, alt-comedy, and workshops. Proceeds directly support Detroit-based non-profits providing arts education and services for at-risk populations in the community.

#DWCF26 takes over all three Planet Ant Stages - Ant Hall, The Black Box, and the Independent Comedy Club - May 15 & 16.
