- CLASS: Intensive Comedy Class with Clayton Fletcher
- Take your comedy writing and performing technique to the next level with our Stand-Up Comedy Intensive Workshop, led by Clayton Fletcher, West Side Comedy Club's Talent Coordinator, a veteran of the NYC stand-up scene, and an international headliner. Clayton has been featured on Amazon Prime, Comedy Central, ESPN, MTV, Hulu, CBS Sports, MSNBC, Nick Mom, AXS-TV, and Sirius/XM Radio. He's performed on five continents, three oceans, two seas, and in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Stockholm Comedy Festival, the New York Comedy Festival, and the World Series of Comedy. He has taught over 2,500 comedians, many of whom are currently working professionals, and some are even household names!This class will cover the various techniques of writing and performing stand-up, important dos and don'ts for all comedians, how to navigate getting passed at NYC comedy clubs, and a look at the business side of comedy, including agents, managers, bookers, and sharks to avoid. The class is Saturday afternoons 12:00PM-3:00PM beginning April 26th and culminating with a PERFORMANCE at West Side Comedy Club on May 18th at 7:00PM.Zarna Garg, a regular at the Comedy Cellar, creator/star of the upcoming CBS sitcom Zarna, and a TikTok sensation with over 60 million views, notes, "Clayton is a very thoughtful comedy teacher and especially valuable in the performance aspects of comedy. His classes are very useful and anybody would be lucky to work with him."Jen Kay, recently a finalist in the Stand-Up 360 Comedy Festival and now a regular in major clubs throughout Las Vegas, writes: "Clayton Fletcher is the Yoda of comedy, take his class you must. I learned so much in his course, that I am now able to notice the do's and don'ts while writing new jokes and while performing. Take an affordable class AND learn from one of the funniest comics out there, Clayton Fletcher."Eddie Estrada, featured on Khloe Kardashian's Revenge Body, advises, "If you are at all interested in stand-up comedy, take this course with Clayton! I had a desire to begin doing stand-up but had no idea where or how to start. I found this class, and I am so incredibly lucky I did! This class doesn't only help you create a polished set, with diligent guidance from Clayton, but it also helps you learn about the industry. He teaches you the tools and information needed in the comedy business. With Clayton's honesty, support and guidance, anyone can leave this class and feel like they can pursue a career in stand-up. I cannot say enough incredible things about this course. Don't miss out!Mark Larsen, a veteran comic who has taken virtually every comedy workshop offered in Manhattan, has this to say: "Clayton Fletcher is the best comedy teacher in New York City. His enthusiasm for the craft of comedy includes both lessons from past masters to examples from today's comedians. He truly enjoys teaching comedy, and that comes through with his finely tuned suggestions to improve specific jokes and materials, as well as offering perspective on your stage persona. After taking Clayton's comedy class, I had the best set of my life, and I know that is due to Clayton's teachings!"For more information, contact [email protected]. Space is limited, so enroll today!Class dates are April 26th, May 3rd, May 10th, May 17th 12pm-3pm with a special graduation showcase on May 18th at 7pm.

She has two Comedy Central specials, she was a Just For Laughs New Face, and she’s passed at most NYC comedy clubs. Testimonials about Chanel’s Teaching:“As a big fan of standup comedy, I’ve always wanted to try it but felt insecure about my ability to do so, so having Chanel guide me along the way was extremely helpful. She is kind hearted, vulnerable & open about her own experiences, and, most importantly, knows the ins-and-outs of being hilarious in a way that is easy to understand. If you’re looking for a safe space to let yo freak flag fly and explore the hilarious person you think you are, you won’t find a better teacher or class in NYC”“Taking Chanel’s class was so awesome! I’m a little more experienced in comedy and was still able to get awesome insights from Chanel.”“Incredible. I’ve wanted to be a comedian forever and now I get to be, thanks to Chanel. I never would’ve worked up the nerve without her guidance. She made my comedy dreams come true and I will never be the same.”Session schedule: Sunday, April 27th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, May 4th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, May 11th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, May 18th , 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, May 25th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, June 1st , 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubPerformance date: Sunday June 8th, 7 p.m at West Side Comedy ClubIt is the responsibility of students to promote the Graduation Show, Graduation shows must have at least 20 tickets sold in order to move forward, FUNY Standup & West Side Comedy Club reserve the right to cancel the show up to four (4) hours prior to start time if there is not a large enough audience.Policies: Class is for 18+No Refunds, No Exchanges, No Cancellations (No semester roll-overs).We reserve the right to remove anyone from a course and refund their money at any time for any reason.Please note end times are subject to change based on class size.Students will receive a recording of their set from the graduation show for free if they "bring" 4 people, otherwise there will be a $25 fee.Please be sure to read through our FAQ page for additional policies.If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out to us using the contact form or by emailing [email protected]
