Christine Alexander

Performer and Laughing Class facilitator known for her proven improvisation based training used for business, personal development and wellness.

Laughter Coach and Training Facilitator

Christine has harnessed the power of laughter through 20 professional years of improvisational stage comedy, corporate team building and comedy wellness programs. She lives by the motto: "If it feels good to laugh, then laugh to feel good." ​ And since 2020, she's added - "If it feels good to cry, then cry to feel good too."


In 2001, Christine became a founding member of Florida Studio Theatre's Improv program and troupe, FST Improv. That was the day her life changed forever. The day she realized she could stay a kid forever. For the next 20 years, she studied improv from greats like Will Luera, Joe Bill, Available Cupholders, Stacked, SAK, Jimmy Carrane, Big Bang and more at FST;  Rick Andrews, Louis Kornfeld  and Armando Diaz at the Magnet Theater, and Upright Citizens Brigade in New York.


Christine has taught worldwide to students 6 to 86 and performed in numerous venues in Florida and New York, was a frequent co-host for The Suncoast View on ABC7 and has appeared in numerous publications.


She now delivers her proven improv-based training to corporations and individuals around the world. For businesses, these workshops provide a morale boost to the staff while reinforcing the positive benefits of communication and teamwork. For individuals, they provide a confidence boost and professional development techniques such as active listening and better communication, Christine offers one-on-one online classes. Her favorite days are when she provides a safe space to care receivers and caregivers of cancer and Parkinson's, where a good laugh made one participant say, "for that hour, I didn't think about cancer at all."


Christine and her husband Christopher met and lived in Sarasota, Florida for 20 years until 2021 when they moved to Albany, NY. In her free time, Christine enjoys being Aunt Chris, watching TikTok, late night snacking and laughing loudly in awkward situations.

"Christine Alexander shared her unique flavor of improv comedy — fleshing out improbable audience suggestions with physical gags worthy of Lucille Ball and voices and characters worthy of Tracey Ullman. Think long-form improv — an hour-long sketch concocted on the spot. She made it look easy."  - Your Observer, 2015
