This six week class will prepare you to deliver a 5 minute comedy set.
Maybe you want to do stand-up.
Maybe you want to be better at public speaking.
Maybe you want to be more confident, try a new hobby, or just have some fun!

Whatever your reason, you're welcome to join us for six weeks as we explore the art of stand-up comedy. Students should anticipate exercises focused on ideating, structuring and performing comedic material for a general audience. 

If you're nervous, that's a good sign. It just means something exciting is about to happen.
