One problem that a lot of people have when it comes to meeting new people is being introverted or shy.

The Dallas Comedy House offers improv classes, which serves a couple of purposes. First of all, it will help a person get more comfortable with talking in large or small groups and help them break out of their shell.

Even if you don't strike up a friendship with someone in the class, it will help you meet people later down the road.
