About the class
Discover the techniques that top stand-up comedians use to grab and keep attention, and make audiences laugh. This 5-week comedy course provides the essential skills you’ll use to mesmerize crowds, boost your confidence, power-up your performance, and be funny. And don’t worry—you don’t need to be a natural! This course is built specifically to shepherd you from complete beginner into comedy competency. The best public speakers use humor. Successful corporate presenters are funny. Job candidates who make interviewers laugh get hired. Whether your goal is to conquer stage fright, climb in your career, or embark on a new path as a comedian, this program’s focus on comedy material, preparation, and delivery will set you on the right track.
The 5-week course culminates on the 5th week with an optional stand-up comedy showcase in front of loving and laughing friends and family.
