Beginner Stand Up Class – The Technique Workshop

Working from The Stand-up Comedy Workbook, which you receive as part of your tuition, you will learn how to cut through writer’s block, build a premise and generate endless punch lines for that premise until you find the one that rocks. The Technique Workshop is a required pre-requisite for the Performance Workshop. Even professional comedians with years of experience attend this class to improve existing skills and push themselves in new creative directions. In this five-week workshop, you will learn to apply the Joke Diagram, association lists, organic development, characters and POVs to create your own jokes.

You will learn:

· Material generation techniques (Structured and Organic)

· Riffing (Improvisation)

· Bit Construction

· Character Development (POVs)

· How to stay connected to audiences

· How to find your voice on stage

· How to eliminate self-criticism
