What happens when life presents impossible choices? In this lively, story-driven class, we’ll explore real moral dilemmas—some hilarious, some profound—through original comic monologues drawn from lived experience.
Each session begins with a true story that sets up an ethical puzzle, then turns the spotlight on the question that matters most: What would you do? There are no right answers and no lectures—just rich, surprising conversations about the everyday (and not-so-everyday) choices we all face.
Come ready to laugh, reflect, and discover how others navigate the same questions that challenge us all—from conscience vs. duty to loyalty vs. honesty to standing up vs. staying safe. You’ll be amazed at how differently people approach the same situation—and what that reveals about our values.
Perfect for anyone who loves a good story, enjoys spirited discussion, and believes humor helps us take life—and each other—a little more seriously.
What to expect: Think TED Talks meets The Moth meets Campfire Conversations—with a dash of the old Donahue Show. Original comic monologues, dynamic group discussion, and plenty of “what ifs” that will stick with you long after class ends.
