Find Your Voice - Spread Your Wings - Know Your True Colours

MACAW is an acronym for Mostly About Comedy and Wellbeing

At MACAW, we believe laughter is powerful—and transformative. Our name says it all: we’re Mostly About Comedy and Wellbeing, but there’s even more packed into that vibrant “C.” It also stands for Confidence, Connection, Creativity, Challenge, and Change—the core qualities we help you unlock through playful, purposeful workshops.

MACAW offers dynamic, engaging workshops that use humour, play, improv, and storytelling to bring out the best in people. Whether you're an individual looking to boost your self-belief, a team wanting to strengthen connections, or an organisation seeking creative growth, MACAW meets you where you are—and helps you soar.

We don’t believe in dry seminars or stiff self-improvement. Our methods are grounded in joy, spontaneity, and shared experience. Laughter is a shortcut to openness. Storytelling is a bridge to empathy. Improv is a playground for confidence and trust. Everything we do is designed to spark growth through fun and fearless expression.
