PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Everyone loves to laugh, but we are never taught the actual art of writing a joke and creating stand-up material. Most of us try to claim the title of a comedian by telling jokes written by other people or jokes that we have read someplace. Now you can actually learn the art of writing jokes and creating your own original stand up comedy material that you can tell on stage and on national television. Most stand-up comedians are very successful and end up getting their own sitcoms or get recruited in plays, theater or commercials. This is your opportunity to learn this craft and have fun at the same time. Why not try your hand at this workshop to hone in on your inner comedian and give him/her some tools to get better.
During this 3 days course, PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
How to analyze any joke and find out why it's funny.
The formula and structure of a joke. Hands on joke writing session.
Creating original stand-up material that encompasses their own life. Material that cannot be stolen by anyone because it is personal and pertinent to the student.
Building stage confidence to entertain strangers and loved ones.
Creating a demo tape that can be sent to any comedy club or Nationwide stage shows.
Starting and running your own comedy shows and open mics.
