About This Course
This workshop examines various types of stand-up from the 1960s to present. We focus on our old friend “finding your voice” as it pertains to storytelling and joke writing. In a safe space, you explore joke premises and receive constructive feedback from your peers. By the end of the course, you perform a five-to-seven-minute routine and write a one-page synopsis of a TV show or social media content based on your comedy.
