About the Class

We created the original Hosting and Crowd Work class more than a decade ago. In this fun, yet intensive workshop students practice crowd work with a simulated audience, and learn the tricks of being a great emcee. As a bonus, the workshop includes an overview of the business side of hosting in comedy, how to land gigs, working on the road, and more.

This is a great entry point for comics looking to break into hosting and develop undeniable crowd work skills. The workshop will culminate with a live show at a major comedy club in NYC.

Includes:

• Opening to cold or difficult crowds.
• Finding targets in the audience for crowd work.
• Handling hecklers, distractions, and difficult situations. 
• Joke writing exercises for every situation.
• Mixing in material with crowd work.
• Learning the business side and garnering paid work.
