It might sound a bit old fashioned, but is there a toastmasters chapter near you [1]? It's an organisation dedicated to improving public speaking, but it's actually a lot of fun.
The first half of the meeting is where people give prepared speeches and get evaluated. The second half people have to give a 2 minute talk on an improvised topic.
You'll meet people in a supportive and friendly environment, improve a useful skill, and have lots of fun.

- jjjjj55555 3y agoIt's a great organization, but different chapters have different vibes. They might range from super diverse and fun groups that also like to go for drinks after the meeting, to suburban professionals who race home the minute it's over. YMMV.
- gadders 3y agoI would say the one I go to tends slightly towards the latter, but there is usually 15 mins in the middle and the same at the end to chat.
