The "Three Masks" Comedy Intensive: An Irreverent Residency
The Stage is the Only Place Where the Truth Won't Get You Arrested.
Stop pretending. This isn’t a "class"—it’s an exorcism of the polite lies we tell daily. At SMS Novel, we believe the funniest things in life are the ones we’re told never to talk about at the dinner table. Every Tuesday and Friday from 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM, we dive into the wreckage of religion, drugs, sex, and politics. We strip away the "Sunday School" version of your life to find the hilarious, unsober reality underneath. Whether you’re deconstructing your upbringing or roasting the current political circus, this lab is a safe space for dangerous ideas.
The curriculum is built around the concept of the Three Masks. We start with the "Public Mask" (the lies you tell your boss), move to the "Private Mask" (the lies you tell your partner), and finally reach the "Shadow Mask"—the self-deprecating, raw version of yourself that only comes out after three drinks. Through unfiltered ice-breakers and light roasting sessions, you will learn how to turn your biggest insecurities, failed dates, and parenting nightmares into weapons of comedic mass destruction. No topic is off-limits; if it hurts, it’s probably funny.
This residency is designed to take you from a "funny friend" to a certified performer. You will spend your nights honing a tight 5-minute stand-up routine that balances punchlines with gut-punching honesty. We cover the logistics of the "Late Night Set," including how to handle a heckler without losing your cool and how to use self-deprecation to win over a room before you drop a controversial truth-bomb. This is about more than just jokes; it’s about finding the "Truth-Holic" voice that sets you apart from the generic club acts.
Upon completion, you won’t just walk away with a buzz. You will receive an official SMS Novel Comedy Certificate of Completion and a professional performer profile on SMSNovel.com. This isn't just a trophy; it is your digital calling card. Your profile makes you eligible for direct booking at our Local Comedy Dinner Events, where the stakes are higher and the audience is hungry for the raw, irreverent energy you’ve cultivated here. Turn your trauma into a paycheck.
