RJN Comedy Presents: Standup Comedy 101

Ready to stop being the "funny one" in the group and start being the funny one on stage?

Join RJN Comedy at Earthwise Studio for a transformative 6-week journey into the world of stand-up comedy. Whether you’ve never held a microphone or you’re looking to polish your existing material, this course provides the structure, mentorship, and stage time you need to succeed.

This isn’t just a lecture; it’s a hands-on workshop. Over five weeks of classroom sessions, you will dive deep into the mechanics of humor. You’ll learn that "being funny" is a craft that can be sharpened through specific techniques.

You will master:

• The Joke Blueprint: Understanding setups, punchlines, and tags.
• Finding Your Voice: Developing your unique comedic persona and POV.
• Stage Craft: How to handle a microphone, manage nerves, and command a room.
• The Writing Process: Turning everyday observations into stage-ready material.

The course culminates in Week 6 with a Live Graduation Showcase. You won't just finish a class; you’ll perform a polished 5-minute set in front of a real audience of friends, family, and comedy fans at Earthwise Studio.

Learn from Ricarlo Winston, a 12-year veteran of the comedy circuit. Ricarlo brings over a decade of experience producing shows and performing across the Midwest. He doesn't just teach the "how-to"—he shares the real-world "street smarts" of the comedy industry.

• Duration: 6 Weeks (5 Weeks of Instruction + 1 Showcase Week)
• Location: Earthwise Studio, 1141 3rd St. Muskegon, MI
• Investment: $75 (Covers all classes and your showcase slot)
• Experience Level: Open to all—from absolute beginners to intermediate performers.

Most people never try stand-up because they don't know where to start. We provide the roadmap. By the end of these six weeks, you won’t just have jokes—you’ll have a set, the confidence to perform it, and a community of fellow creators in the Muskegon comedy scene.

Space is limited to ensure personalized feedback for every student.
