Bio Winner of the San Francisco Cable Car Award for Entertainer of the Year Carol Roberts has a long history of comedy. In the comedy boom of the 80's she performed with Robin Williams and Ellen Degeneris. She was asked to join Femprov, a popular all female comedy improvisation troupe in San Francisco. Then Carol woke up one day to find she lived in Ohio with a husband and two children. She changed her focus to teaching comedy classes to kids, teens, and adults. Most recently Carol observed many of her teen students had different abilities such as Asperger's, Autism, ADHD, and ADD, to name a few. She began to see that these folks were developing terrific social skills while playing the comedy improvisation games together. While having fun they were mastering eye contact, impulse control, focus, physical, emotional and verbal expression, and reading and predicting cues, teamwork. Ms. Roberts has been working with the Norman Howard School (For the Developmentally Challenged) in Rochester, New York where she has developed a curriculum for life skills classes and runs after school comedy improvisation club. Education: Ms. Roberts contains an M.S. in Social Gerontology from the University of Southern California and a B.A. in Communications/Psychology from Antioch College. She is also a certified grief counselor. | | |
