Western Mass Business Show on 10.17.25 — Happier Valley Comedy

Join us as we chat with Pam Victor, Founder/President and Head of Happiness and Scott Braidman Managing and Artistic Director about the past 10 years of the HVC story and where they are headed next. Thanks to a strong board of directors, performers, audience, and community they are smiling ear to ear. Located at 1Mill Valley Road in Hadley they are building out their stage literally and figuratively to encompass more room for more people. Their core values sum up the way that they approach most things:
Follow the Joy and Ease
Assume Good Will
Be of Service
Redefine and Disempower Failure
Play More

Listen in as we lean into improv and how we can play more. Whether you come for a class, or to attend a performance, perhaps a workshop, just come. You will find a place that you can be yourself and enjoy the time away from all the other obligations that weigh you down. Oh, and Bob Lowry if you are listening, we love you, Scott especially. Thanks for joining us.
