Join us Sunday Sept 14th for an inspiring and fun day of Stand Up Comedy Writing with professional comic Mike Sheer.
Mike's performed his critically acclaimed jokes and delivered writing workshops around the globe. He brings his experience, systems, and passion to Southend for this collaboration with local comedy & cabaret heroes Bare Cheek Comedy.
This workshop is framed around his 4 Key Pillars of comedy writing.
✍️ Get stuck into writing exercises & prompts designed to fuel creativity, mine your authenticity, and have you surprise yourself
✍️ Explore comedy philosophies, intentions, and techniques with like-minded people
✍️ Simplify your process of finding what's funny
This is all about helping you find and strengthen YOUR voice.
There will be a pre-game questionnaire to fill in that will help you get the most out of your experience.
Here's what recent attendees have said:
"Mike is a passionate teacher with really great insights and tools that can help you to hone your writing skills. His Stand-Up Comedy Writing Workshop helped me to understand how to take apart, examine, and reconfigure my jokes to be funnier and have bigger impact, and I left with a better understanding of what makes funny, funny. I highly recommend his workshops." - Tim
