About the Class

Our Virtual Stand-Up Comedy and Writing Workshop is open to all levels and will give you an excellent opportunity to work from home, whether you're brand new, working on a set, or have experience.

In this workshop you will learn how to put together a 5-minute set, joke writing with technique, storytelling, and more. At the completion of the workshop students will have the opportunity to invite friends and family and perform in a virtual showcase.

• Week 1: Standup Comedy Overview - learn the ins and outs of the craft and the basic foundation to build a career around.

• Week 2: Writing - learn structure, principles, and philosophy of joke writing while breaking down and rebuilding your material in a writer’s room setting.

• Week 3: Performance - learn the big differences between crowd work and crowd engagement with a specialized class in connecting with your audience and being present while performing.
  

• Week 4: Editing - Prepare for a longer set to experience editing down material and prepping for a 5-minute showcase set.

• Class Showcase: Perform the 5-minute showcase set you’ve built along the One Month Workshop in front of an audience of family and friends on Zoom.

*Please note: The Zoom open mic bundle package is intended to be used in conjunction with the class as weekly practice.
