One Person Show Workshop (For Comedians) | 8-Week Program

If you’re a comedian who’s tired of only building “sets” and you want a full SHOW—this is the program.

The One Person Show Workshop is an 8-week, comedian-focused training designed to help you create a structured, stage-ready solo performance. You’ll take your funniest stories, strongest premises, and real life moments and shape them into a 15–30 minute One Person Show with clear structure, transitions, pacing, and presence.

This is the lane that helped solo performers create memorable theatrical comedy shows like:
Hasan Minhaj (Homecoming King) • Mike Birbiglia (The New One) • John Leguizamo (Latin History for Morons)

✅ Story & structure (acts / chapters / beats)
✅ Scripting & transitions (how to connect the whole show)
✅ Stage blocking & presence (movement, pacing, confidence)
✅ Rehearsal strategy (tightening, memorizing, polishing)
✅ Showcase prep (strong opening + strong closing)

The program ends with a Graduation Showcase where participants perform their solo work for a live audience.

• Comedians ready to level up beyond 5–10 minute sets
• Comics who want to headline with a real “show” feel
• Performers who want to turn life into a ticketed solo performance

• Notebook or laptop
• A few personal stories + existing jokes (we’ll shape them)
• Willingness to rehearse outside of class

Cost: $220
Spots are limited to allow real run-through time and coaching.
