Lloyds sends top bankers to comedy school

The ten department heads attended a two-day workshop at the school, a charity which usually teaches clowning and improvised comedy to prisoners and street gang members. The workshop forms part of a six-month training scheme for Lloyds bosses to improve their communication skills, the Daily Mail reports. The Comedy School is supported by a handful of successful comedians such as Jo Brand, Phill Jupitus and Hugh Dennis. In return for the training, Lloyds gave Comedy School coaches training on fundraising and business skills.
