Instructor Bio | Pat Kearnan is a lifelong comedy fan who took his first improv class in 2012, got hooked, and never looked back. His affinity for everything improv continued to expand over the years as performing turned into teaching turned into producing, and in 2018 he co-founded Union Comedy where he has served as President and CEO since 2021. This and other creative endeavors have allowed him to perform in front of sold-out crowds at venues like The Rockwell, Crystal Ballroom, The Wilbur, and Fenway Park. He's even performed with Dropkick Murphys (not kidding). At Union Comedy you can catch Pat onstage with Neighbors, the longest-running longform team in Boston, coaching House Teams Babe and Medusa, and behind the tech booth for The Pickle.

Union's Comedy School offers four core improv levels, plus a variety of advanced workshops for experienced players throughout the year. Whether you're brand new or looking to sharpen your skills, there’s a spot for you here. Not sure where to start? Just ask! We love talking improv almost as much as we love doing it.

Union Comedy is a small, growing, local arts organization that only exists because of you. Every ticket and donation helps us keep the laughter going.
