Christi Somers
I teach Presence through Comedy.
“Very Funny.”
Presence changes everything.
I didn't set out to teach presence.
I set out to become a better comedian.
But after twenty years on stage, coaching nearly 1,000 performers and spending countless hours asking why some moments come alive while others fall flat, I realized the answer had very little to do with technique.
The people who hold a room aren't trying harder.
They're leaving less of themselves behind.
That's why I teach presence through comedy. Because comedy doesn't just reveal how we communicate. It reveals how we protect ourselves, how we connect, and what becomes possible when we stop performing at people and start being with them.
