Have you ever thought about trying Stand-Up Comedy? Do people tell you you’re funny? When you go to a comedy show, do you think to yourself, “I could do that!” Then this is the class for you! Join us for this fun, hands-on intensive where we’ll take you behind the curtain, and teach you from the ground up about becoming a stand-up comedian, and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy.
In this program we’ll cover:

Our program combines class instruction with hands-on exercises and student participation, culminating with a final performance by all students in front of a live audience at Bay Street Theater! We’ll also bring in a Guest Comedian to visit our class to give students additional insight into the world of stand-up comedy. It’s going to be educational, inspirational and the most fun you’ll ever have in a class. Don’t wait any longer. Join us for this exciting program and take the next step to pursuing your dream of becoming a stand-up comedian.
