Think You’re Funny?

Have you ever thought about trying Stand-Up Comedy?  Do people tell you you’re funny?  When you go to a comedy show, do you think to yourself, “I could do that!”  Then this is the class for you!  Join us for this fun, hands-on intensive where we’ll take you behind the curtain, and teach you from the ground up about becoming a stand-up comedian, and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy.  

In this program we’ll cover:

• How to find the funny in your daily life
• Writing exercises to help you on your comedy journey
• Developing your own style of comedy
• Connecting with an audience
• Becoming a better public speaker by using humor
• Dos and Don’ts about performing live stand-up comedy
• Writing, performing and perfecting your act
• Delivery, timing and dealing with nerves
• The business of comedy today
• And much more! 

Our program combines class instruction with hands-on exercises and student participation, culminating with a final performance by all students in front of a live audience at Bay Street Theater!  We’ll also bring in a Guest Comedian to visit our class to give students additional insight into the world of stand-up comedy.  It’s going to be educational, inspirational and the most fun you’ll ever have in a class.  Don’t wait any longer.  Join us for this exciting program and take the next step to pursuing your dream of becoming a stand-up comedian.
