DESCRIPTION:
Have you always wanted to try stand-up but didn’t know where to start?
Are you a veteran comic whose jokes aren't consistent? Need editing? Do you need a safe space to work out new material?
This 6-week course will review basic writing and performance techniques including how to source material, edit jokes, and shape your set. You will learn mic technique, crowd work, act outs, characters, and comedy show etiquette (it's a thing!). This course provides a fun, supportive environment for you to explore your material and find your authentic comedic voice.
The workshop 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 are subject to be used on our social media platforms.
