Comedy Club students compete in Eisteddfod

A small group of Comedy Club students from Umina Beach Public School travelled to Wadalba to compete in the 2017 Central Coast Eisteddfod on Sunday, August 6.

They were entered in both the solo and group improvisation sections where the students were given a topic, two minutes of preparation and then had to perform for a maximum of three minutes.

"I was extremely proud of our students who all gave great performances on the day and were fine ambassadors for our school," said teacher Mr Greg Buist.

"Particular notice must be given to one group who competed against six other groups and were awarded first place for their group improvisation on the topic The Football Final.

Another Umina Beach Public School student came first in the solo improvisation for his performance on the topic of The Boss and another received third place with her improvisation of The Magician, Mr Buist said.

"The purpose of entering the Eisteddfod was not to win trophies, but for it to be a positive experience for all the students, which I am glad to say it was.

"I will be looking forward to seeing more students perform in the Eisteddfod next year," he said.
