MALPENSANDO
MalPensando is a comedy school that helps people become funny, confident leaders. Founded in 2014 (Toronto, Canada) by international award-winning comedians and public speaking coaches, MalPensando has been credited with empowering thousands of professionals through comedy and has been a vehicle for countless hours of community service in the Hispanic-Canadian community.
OUR MISSION
To entertain, teach, and inspire through the power of comedy.
OUR VISION
Establish a fun, diverse culture where everyone is welcome, weird is cool, and people confidently embrace their authentic selves.
OUR CORE VALUES
1 We believe everyone can be an amazing speaker and performer. Confidence, charisma, and comedy live in every person—you just have to unlock it.
2 We believe stepping out of your comfort zone is a lot less scary (and more fun!) when it involves laughter. Comedy is the tool, but personal growth is the outcome.
3 We believe in diversity, inclusion, and learning from everyone’s unique story.
4 We believe relationships are more valuable than money.
5 We believe in creating a safe, comfortable community where weird is cool and authenticity wins.
