You are especially invited … to something different
Do you have a sense of humor and enjoy being part of a small group which co-creates surprises?
And are you prepared to step out into the unknown where there is a prospect of delightful experiencing and fun?
If so this is for you. It’s a comedy show probably unlike any you have encountered – yet!
For it’s one in which the bulk of the humor is generated by the members of the audience. How’s that for a bit of fun?
This happens World Café style, meaning that people sit at small tables and periodically address questions related to the theme of the event.
My role is as ‘Ambiance Director.’ This means that I set the scene by invoking principles such as:
'Agree on the purpose of the event', 'Whoever comes are the right people' ' Share collective discoveries' 'Whatever happens is the only thing that could have!'
and I perform some stand-up comedy and tell stories from my experience of living in many parts of the world.
After which I invite all present to address questions related to the theme of the show, in their small groups. And then share what they come up with, which may be done through role plays!
Topic: ‘Growing Old Disgracefully’
Who does not have a ‘take’ on this that

Your ambiance director
I am Alan Stewart, PhD, professional conversationalist and comedian. My skill is to facilitate group processes which encourage participants to converse [Latin con versare – to turn or to dance together] about questions that matter to them, with the starting point of ‘We are in this together and to treat each other well.’
For when people interact in such contexts they invariably feel alive, inspired, connected, surprised, engaged, empowered, responsible and open to possibility.
What else could be at the root of the enjoyable, enriching, enlivening and energising experiencing from which productive outcomes are spontaneously co-created?
I am also a standup comedian. What fun you are in for from my combining these two!
