STAND-UP WORKSHOP AT THE MANHATTAN COMEDY SCHOOL
Whether you’re looking to have a career in stand-up, or just want to cross it off your bucket list, this class offers a fun and supportive environment to learn (or review) the basics.
Given that any comedian is only as funny as their material, this class emphasizes the craft of joke writing, paying particular attention to writing for the speaker rather than for the page. Through individually tailored exercises, you’ll analyze your own specific experiences to discover the underlying universal themes and emotions that’ll enable you to forge a strong connection with an audience. During each session, you’ll practice and hone your delivery performing for your classmates in preparation for your graduation show Wednesdays, 7-10PM, May 24th — June 28th

STAND-UP COMEDY WORKSHOP
THE METROPOLITAN ROOM - NEW YORK, NY
Wednesdays 6-9pm
October 12th - November 16th, 2016
This course introduces students to the basics of writing and performing stand-up comedy, providing them with the information and the skills that they – or the comic they’re writing for – need to succeed at the microphone.
Beginning with the premise that any comedian is only as good as his or her material, coursework emphasizes the craft of joke writing with particular attention paid to the meticulous choices necessary to structure elegant setups and powerful punch lines.
Students examine the differences between writing for a reader and writing for a speaker, and through individually tailored assignments, search out the universal in their own relationships, experiences, and opinions. After incorporating their discoveries into a form appropriate for stand-up and cultivating a unique comic voice through daily exercises, students are offered a chance to perform their material in front of a live audience.
The course is designed for those preparing for their first stand-up experience, those interested in joke writing, and those seeking to refine their comedic skills. Students participate in six, three-hour group sessions supplemented by individual writing tutorials. The class concludes with a Comedy Night Showcase where students perform their material before a live audience and a final post-performance review. No prior experience is necessary.
