TWO-DAY BEGINNERS’ COMEDY COURSE
What makes a good Stand-Up Comedian?
Is it a natural talent? Or can you learn how to be a Comedian?
There are many common misconceptions as to how this is done.
Laughing Horse have been teaching comedy courses since 2006, which guide you through a proven process that professional comics use to write, perform and approach Stand-Up Comedy.
This course is not taught by theorists, lecturers or people that have never set foot on a stage. It is delivered by professional comedians who are currently performing Stand Up several times a week.
They have huge experience in teaching this art form and giving valuable feedback, problem-solving and encouraging students to develop their routine. They have a wide-ranging knowledge of the industry and how to make career progress.
The beginners’ course is best suited to people who have never performed stand up comedy before, or for new comedians wanting to get a good grounding knowledge of how stand-up works.
The course is very practical and spread over a weekend with a graduation show following the teaching which is open to friends, relatives and is advertised to the general public.
What does the course Cover?
- Where material comes from and how to make routines of your own continuously
- How to write material
- Practical writing exercises
- Learning how professional comics deconstruct comedy by watching and discussing current comedians
- Editing and performing material written
- How does online comedy work?
- How the industry works
At the end of the course students perform live on zoom to an audience doing a 5 minute set at the graduation show, this is followed by feedback session from the tutor.
Once comedy returns to venues later in the year, there will be additional graduation shows and feedback sessions.
Immerse yourself in Stand Up Comedy for a weekend (There will be homework!)
