We've been working with stand-up comedy students internationally via ZOOM for the last year and a half and we're excited about the unique aspects of teaching stand-up within the online environment. Most of our classes are wholly online although as it becomes safe and legal in San Francisco we will begin to offer hybrid and in person sessions. Email us if you have questions!
Free Intro Class
SFCC’s FREE workshop introduces you to all that our school offers in the following 6-week Beginner Class including: individual descriptions of writing sessions, The Stand-Up Comedy Workbook, advanced class audits, in- house open mics, membership to our online community and network of comedians. You will be given free comedic theory and shown a proven formula, which illustrates the structure of all comedy spoken, written, filmed or displayed silently. So, bring your questions, your skepticism and your willingness to learn!! |
Beginner Class
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- req 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. |
Advanced Class
Time to build and perfect your act! This group session covers multiple comedic points of view to help you develop material quickly and address your performance issues. This class is the most cost effective, least dysfunctional and a more productive way of becoming a competent comedian. No need for low-end bars and less than brilliant open mic buddies, who never make the transition to full-time professional comedy. |
1/1 Private Training
1:1 in person / online comedy development training for business presentation, competitive speeches or stand up! FREE Initial Comedy Consultation and a Money-Back Guarantee!!! Are you a full-time professional comedian or speaker with a six-seven figure income solely from performing? If so, you could be the one person who may not benefit from taking SFCC classes. You’re not at this level yet? Then, let us help! |
Teen Stand-Up
SFCC’s Teen Stand-Up Class will provide students a safe place to discover their “voice,” while they become comfortable in front of an audience and learn basic joke structure. In addition to the stand-up classes, your teen will have the opportunity to participate in our community of working stand-up comedians, writing jokes, analyzing stand-up shows, and performing at SFCC open mics. This is a six week session, which will conclude with each student performing a three minute stand-up set via Zoom, videos will be provided. |
