Join us for Comedy 101, where our instructors focus on the basics, and students begin to find their voice and define their style onstage.Our 6-week course reviews topics including where to find material, joke structures, writing skills & stage presence, the basics of crafting a set, and how to be in the moment. The course concludes with a show at West Side Comedy Club, providing students the opportunity to perform their 5-minute set in front of a live audience. Please note: Final Performances are recorded and subject to be used on our social media platforms. Our instructors are all working comics themselves with credits to their name; they can speak directly to the industry as it is today.

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, January 5th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, January 12nd, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, January 19th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, January 26th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, February 2nd, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubSunday, February 9th, 2 pm – 4:30 pm, at West Side Comedy ClubPerformance date*: February 23rd, 6 p.m at West Side Comedy ClubPolicies: 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.Students who enroll are entitled to free open mics at West Side Comedy Club.Please note end times are subject to change based on class size.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.Students will receive a recording of their set from the graduation show 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]
