TEAMBUILDING
Our facilitators guide your team through fun and safe group exercises to help them connect to each other and make them stronger.
INTERCULTURAL
COMMUNICATIONS
We use play and comedy to bridge the gap between communication and understanding, bringing people closer together. Because we all laugh in the same language.
PERFORMANCE
COACHING
Speak honestly, perform under pressure, and think on your feet. Our coaches help you perfect the pitch, impress investors, or nail the sale.
TEAMS THAT COMMUNICATE
GET MORE DONE
We create environments where people feel accepted, heard, and valued.
As a result, teams more likely to speak up and share ideas, letting the group harness the value of their diverse mindsets, and become open to how these differences can be used to achieve more together.
WE HELP YOUR TEAM TO
SHARE OPENLY & CONFIDENTLY
Arm your team with the tools to speak, listen, and communicate effectively.
BUILD A CULTURE OF ACCEPTANCE
Harness the value of the group’s diverse mindsets, and learn how to achieve more together.
CONNECT TO THEIR AUDIENCE
Learn how they are perceived by their colleagues, their clients, and their future partners.
DEVELOP UNDERSTANDING
Build empathic communication and cultivate trust.
BREAK DOWN BARRIERS
Understanding expectations and opening the chain of communication.

HAVE SOME FUN. SERIOUSLY.
we make
improv easy
Just follow these 3 simple steps.
Sure. Improv feels scary. But we promise it isn’t! Here’s how we do it:
STEP
ONE
START WITH
YES
FINLAND
THE FIRST PHILOSOPHY OF IMPROV IS TO SAY YES.
“YES” is how we begin. You can’t start anything with a “No”.
Yes to new experiences.
Yes to new ideas.
Yes to playing together.
STEP
TWO
EXPLORE WITH
YES
FINLAND
LISTEN TO EACH OTHER AND BUILD ON TOP OF NEW IDEAS.
“AND” is how we connect, grow, and create something from nothing together.
It’s also why improv is so helpful in the workplace.
STEP
THREE
CONNECT WITH
YES
FINLAND
APPLY THESE IDEALS TO LIFE IN FINLAND (AND BEYOND).
“YESFINLAND” is how we say “Yes, And” in Finland – It’s the best way to connect improv in Finland, to Finland, and with Finland.
Because “Joo, Ja” sounds funny.
START WITH YES. WE’LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
YOU’RE READY
LET’S CONNECT

MAKING FINLAND LAUGH
SINCE 2011
We are a team of improvisers from around the world who have decided to make Finland our home.
It all started when founder Trent Pancy moved to Finland from the USA. We have been performing shows, teaching improv, and training professionals in Finland and across Europe. As improvisers, we are great listeners, powerful collaborators, and inspired creatives. As professionals, we take these skills and bring them from the stage to the know how to use these skills to bring the best out of people, both on and off stage.
WE
BELIEVE
That comedy is a fantastic way to learn about ourselves and each other.
That’s why we use it to connect people across cultures.
OUR
MISSION
To bring out the best in people through play and laughter.
