Stand-UP Comedy Level One: Writing

Next Class TBA;
Fill contact form to request more info

This class is designed to help you begin writing material, or take material you already have and making it much funnier.

This class is focused on writing and is strongly recommended for beginners and those who have attended open stages, but not developed the material as far as they know it can go.

We'll discuss and define YOUR style of humor. YOU will write material that can be honed into a building block in YOUR comedy act. Learn how to develop an "EYE" for comedy.

Past students have gone directly from the class to successful appearances at stand-up nights around town.

Many are now perfroming regionally for real money!

(4) Classes $200

Stand-UP Comedy Level Two: Performing

Mondays 
October 6, 13, 20 & 27 
5:30-7:30pm
At Zanies Comedy Showplace Nashville, TN [SOLD OUT]
 
This class is for those who have a little material and want to work on style, delivery and performance. Also great for those who have a fear of public speaking. Onstage workshops get YOU in front of the microphone and under the spotlight. YOU will learn how to memorize YOUR act, hit the stage with confidence, read a crowd and structure YOUR show.
 
Fee includes a DVD of either your final workshop performance or your graduation set at Zanies. Whichever one you choose will be critiqued to get the most out of your future performances.

Students who have taken the writing course have priority when signing up for the performance course.
