This course is for people who have never done stand up comedy or new comedians looking to sharpen their act. We will look at the very basics of stand up comedy, from learning how to write a simple "pull back and reveal" joke to how to apply for gigs on the London circuit.
The intensive course covers everything in our usual courses and allows a significantly larger amount of time on stage for participants. The course will cover detailed joke writing, performance and developing your stand up persona.
In the last 2 years previous alumni of Dec's course have won Britain's Got Talent, So You Think You’re Funny (with 6 getting to the semi finals), the NATYS & Chortle Student Comedian of the Year, and were finalists in Funny Women, the Musical Comedy Awards, British Comedian of The Year, BBC New Comedian of the Year, Not So New Comedian of the Year, LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year, West End New Act of the Year, Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year, Beat The Frog World Championship and The Channel 4 Sean Lock Comedy Award. Also, 8 Beat the Gong at the Comedy Store. This could also be you in the year after you take the course!
