Stand-Up Comedy Writing and Performance 7/9-7/13/18

Are you the class clown? Or an introvert with a lot of funny opinions about the world around you? No matter what your personality type, making others laugh is something most of us enjoy—and all of us have the ability to do.

In this 5-day course we will cover the basics of joke writing, how to develop comedic material, structuring an act, commanding audience attention, and establishing a persona. By the end of the week, you’ll have crafted your own 3-5 personal monologue ready to be confidently performed in front an audience any time you like. (Did we mention you would be performing in front of the class all week too?)

Whether you are already funny or think you could be, Stand Up Comedy Writing and Performance will help anyone overcome the fear of speaking in front of an audience while learning fundamental communication skills that can be applied both on and off the stage, in personal and professional experiences. Come see if you have what it takes to stand in front of an audience and make them laugh!
