Beginners Comedy Course
14 Jan – 3 Mar 2024You hear it all the time..
..that you’re the funniest one in the office, the life of the party, that you should be a stand-up comic. Well now The Comedy Store is giving you a unique opportunity to become just that.
Our Beginners’ Comedy Courses take participants on a journey from social joker to The Comedy Store stage in just 6 weeks. Students will learn how to deliver precision punchlines, engage audiences and strike down hecklers like a true professional. Your teacher and mentor on this journey will be circuit veteran and ‘Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’ alumni Mike Gunn, who has seen it all in his 20+ years as a stand up. With his vast stage experience, Mike will be able to help students hone their timing, perfect their mic techniques and teach the secrets of constructing hilarious jokes and stories.
The course ends with a showcase at The Comedy Store, open to the public, where each student performs five minutes in front of a live audience. Students will be given a number of tickets to the final event which they can give to family and friends, or even sell to raise funds for their future comedy adventures. So what are you waiting for? Comic stardom beckons…..
