Stand - up Comedy course
8 weeks

This course is designed to teach you the skills and techniques necessary to be able to perform stand-up comedy. The main focus is on stage craft, presentation, finding your inner comic persona, writing and performing jokes in front of an audience.
The ultimate goal of the course is to empower participants with the confidence to perform their own original material in front of an audience and the steps necessary to pursue a career in comedy as both writer and performer. Working within a supportive atmosphere you'll discover the various methods of conveying comedic material on stage and how to turn any idea into comedy gold. You'll discover the clown that exists within each of us, as well as other various forms of comedic expression, including character, sketch and straight stand-up. Other areas covered include, vocal delivery, working with an audience, psychology of stand-up, overcoming fear, and networking within the industry.
At the end of the course each participant will be invited to perform their "set" in front of a live audience at a comedy venue with the performance taped and edited onto a DVD which can be used for promotional purposes.
