This trial is testing whether improv comedy—a fun, interactive form of theater—can help reduce anxiety and improve mental well-being in young adults. Researchers will invite some participants to attend four weekly improv comedy workshops, while others wait to see if this fun activity actually works to lower anxiety symptoms.
Many young adults struggle with anxiety, and traditional treatments like medication or therapy don't work for everyone. This trial explores whether an enjoyable, group-based activity like improv comedy might be a helpful alternative or complement to standard mental health care.

If you're randomly selected to join the improv comedy group, you will attend four weekly three-hour workshops where you'll learn and play improv comedy games and exercises. You'll also complete four brief assessments and surveys during the workshops and may participate in one or two optional interviews about your experience. If you're placed on the waitlist, you'll complete the same surveys while waiting, and you'll have the chance to join the workshops later after the study ends.
