“Beginning Stand-Up Comedy” (or “All my friends tell me I’m funny, how do I do this thing?’) In this class, students work on a 3-5 minute routine to perform at a special showcase night. There are five 90 min. sessions where the student learns how to construct a routine, rehearse it, are instructed on proper stage technique, and given feedback and guidance by the instructor. This culminates in a special showcase evening set up at the club for all the students to try out their routine in front of a live [and very friendly] audience.

“Advanced Stand-up Comedy” (or “Now what do I do with this thing that I’ve created?")

The Advanced Class offers the student a place to continue to explore their routine after they have finished the Beginning Class. The students work on adding material to their set, get guidance and direction, and continue to tweak and polish their comedy act. Once again, this five week session ends in a showcase performance at the club.
