By day, Chris Womack is a JMU kinesiology professor, and his wife, Dawn Womack, is a podcaster.

When they get together on stage, they’re The Funny Womacks, a husband-and-wife comedy duo.

Participants will explore joke writing, delivery, stage presence, and mic etiquette in a fun, encouraging environment—with real stage time included.
