Speaker: Pippa Evans
Poet: Dan Simpson
Happy New Year, and happy 8th birthday to Sunday Assembly!
In honour of this special occasion, we invited Olivier award-winning comedian and Sunday Assembly co-founder Pippa Evans to be our main speaker! Pippa has been very productive during the pandemic, performing with the Showstoppers and translating her acclaimed self-improvement course “Improv Your Life” into book form. She realised that life is one big improvisation and all of our interactions with the world are made of quick decisions based on what’s available to us.
Pippa taught us some of the skills she has learned as an improv comedian and how they can be applied to every ‘scene’ in our lives.
Hosted by co-founder of Sunday Assembly and founder of The Lifefulness Project Sanderson Jones, this assembly also had poetry by Dan Simpson (@dansimpsonpoet), a member of the community talking about how they’re “Trying Their Best”, and fun sing-along songs by the Sunday Assembly Band.
Because of the current government restrictions, we cannot meet at Conway Hall in Holborn, so our meeting was held on Zoom instead and livestreamed to YouTube.
