Ever wanted to try stand-up comedy but didn’t know where to start? This beginner’s 3-day course helps participants start their journey as a stand-up comedian. Over three interactive sessions, you’ll learn the fundamentals of joke writing, performance techniques, and improvisation—all in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Under the guidance and coaching of seasoned comedian Dan Belkin, you’ll transform your ideas and stories into a stand-up set and step onto the stage on Saturday evening to perform for a supportive audience. Whether you're looking to conquer stage fright, sharpen your wit, or just have fun, this course will give you the tools to take your first comedy set to the stage. In addition, you will enhance personal and professional skills such as public speaking, storytelling, thinking on your feet and at worst you’ll have a story to tell on Monday! Each session builds on the last, combining instruction, hands-on exercises, and opportunities to test material in front of the group culminating in a class graduation showcase for attendees and friends.
