What it’s like

Stand-up comedy courses and workshops for anyone who fancies learning to write and perform their own material.

This is a stand-up comedy course, not a comedy show. You sign up to learn how to write jokes, structure a set and actually get up and perform it, either in a group class or as a private one-to-one lesson if you'd rather not learn in front of strangers.

The group workshops are where most people start, working through the craft of stand-up together before trying material out loud. If the idea of a room full of other beginners puts you off, the private lessons are the option to go for, working one-on-one at your own pace.

There's no word on how long a course runs or what it costs, so this is one to enquire about directly rather than expect to just turn up to. It's a proper commitment rather than a one-off evening out, so go in with the idea that you're building something over a few sessions rather than getting a quick fix of comedy tips.

Plan your visit

What actually happens in a session?

You work on writing and performing stand-up material, either in a group workshop or a private lesson.

Is this for complete beginners?

The courses are set up to teach people the craft from scratch, covering how to write and perform a set.

Can I do a one-to-one lesson instead of a group class?

Yes, private comedy lessons are offered alongside the group workshops.

Do I need to book ahead?

There's no walk-in option mentioned, so you'd need to get in touch to sort a place on a course or a private lesson.
