The Lark Comedy Institute

The Lark Comedy Institute South Bend Through the courses participants will learn the hows and whys of improvisation, including rules of interaction and concepts of scene creation.

Founded in 2012, The Lark Comedy Institute is South Bend's first and only organization focused solely on bringing real improv comedy education and experience to Michiana. Staffed by a team of local improv enthusiasts and headed by renowned improv artist Kelli McBride (Second City Chicago, Improv Olympic, Annoyance Theater), we've developed a curriculum of improv education targeted at everyone from

the enthusiastic and nervous beginner to the seasoned and bitter professional. Our program consists of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level classes, each focusing on progressively complex aspects of the improvisation experience. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to instantly create and participate in hilarious and engaging sketches based solely upon a one word suggestion!

Hey Michiana, have you been to Cloud Walking yet?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!! Support small businesses!

Hello friends, Meg here.

It’s been 4 years since we began the adventure of Cloud Walking. We’ve pushed every day to be better, to find ways to improve our space and our systems and our art forms… and of course our community.
To create a safe place for our coworkers and our customers alike. To make choices for the planet, not our pockets.
4 years of giving everything we’ve had. Laying it all on the floor. Sacrificing sleep and financial stability and time with loved ones to make this thing. This dream.
This is not a complaint. I would not change a thing.
All the humans I’ve been able to get to know over the years. All the memories I’ll never know. All the friendships made. All the books written. All the projects completed. All the tears shed. All the moments. All those sacred moments… they’re worth it to me. To us.

But we’re tired. And to be honest, we’ve been thoroughly beat up the last year between tariffs, climate change and road construction (just to name a few 😅).
No. We’re not throwing in the towel yet, but remember this, small businesses need your support to survive. If you want us to be around a year from now, we need you to come out, invite your friends, spread the word!

If you’re out of town, check out our online shop—updated weekly!
If you’re in town, weekdays are BAE (avoid those long weekend lines 😉) and did you know we run crazy one off dinner menus every Friday that y’all are SLEEPING ON?! (Okay I’m done)

But seriously.
Support small. Support local. Support independent. We need you. 🫶🏻
