Stand - up Comedy course
8 weeks

This course is designed to
teach you the skills and techniques necessary to be able to perform
stand-up comedy. The main focus is on stage craft, presentation, finding
your inner comic persona, writing and performing jokes in front of an
audience.
The ultimate goal of the course is to empower participants
with the confidence to perform their own original material in front of
an audience and the steps necessary to
pursue a career in comedy as both writer and performer. Working within a
supportive atmosphere you'll discover the various methods of conveying
comedic material on stage and how to turn any idea into comedy gold.
You'll discover the clown that exists within each of us, as well as
other various forms of comedic expression, including character, sketch
and straight stand-up. Other areas covered include, vocal delivery,
working with an audience, psychology of stand-up, overcoming fear, and
networking within the industry.
At the end of the course each participant will be invited to perform their "set" in front of a live audience at a comedy venue.
