May 2026 - Stand-up Comedy Workshop intensive 1 day course

Hey there, future comedy legends! Listen up because I've got an offer you can't refuse.

Your big goal is waiting. New year, no excuses. Let's make that dream finally happen!

Ever dreamt of conquering the stage, leaving your audience in stitches while mastering the art of public speaking? Well, look no further, my friends. The time is now, and the place is Comedy Lab.

Imagine this: Intensive workshops led by none other than the maestro himself, Tom Short. Yeah, the guy who's not only an award winning stand-up sensation but also a qualified lecturer at Salford University. This isn't your run-of-the-mill comedy course; it's a power-packed, confidence-boosting, comedy extravaganza!

We're talking about a unique blend of comedy techniques – stand-up, improvisation, and even a dash of clowning. It's not just a workshop; it's a journey to transform yourself into a comedic force to be reckoned with, both on and off the stage.

But don't just take my word for it. Let's hear from the brave souls who walked the Comedy Lab path in May:

"I have done a number of comedy courses, and I can confidently say that this was the best one by far" - Nicola.

"I was amazed" - Phil.

"Tom really created a fantastic environment for learning and trying new things out" - Nick.

Whether you're a seasoned comic or just testing the waters, Comedy Lab tailors its magic to suit every skill level. It's all about unlocking that inner comic performer. We're not here to hold your hand; we're here to push you beyond your limits in a supportive and kick-ass environment.

And guess what? Your journey doesn't end with the last laugh. You walk away with a personalised 5-minute reel showcasing your newfound comedic prowess. Stick that on your LinkedIn and watch the world recognize your comedic genius.

Who's behind this comedy revolution, you ask? None other than Tom Short – the man with letters after his name, Ma, Ba (Hons), PGCE. He's not just a teacher; he's been hailed as a 'comedy genius' by Fab Radio International. Catch him live at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and other hotspots across the UK.
