Workshop sessions will focus on writing and performing your material. Instructor suggestions are meant to be helpful based on the experience and successes of that instructor. Stand-up should always be exactly what you want to say/convey. Activities focus on all aspects of stand-up: stage presence, punching up lines, owning your voice, crowd work, comedic styles, networking, writing, etc. This (and every) workshop is a non-judgmental and safe space.
Come to the first workshop with 3 minutes of stand-up prepared (written or performance ready). It can be anything from polished material to scattered thoughts, we will work with it!
