i do not speak from experience, but living in the home of improv comedy, i have often seen/heard it extolled as a great way to break out of public shyness. i think i am kinda funny, and i think it is one of my best assets. my kids are hilarious. being able to fall back on a joke is a great skill.
around here you can get that kind of entry level class in a lot of places, but maybe your school has an improv group.
