Jill Edwards Comedy Workshops
WHERE
Brighton
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.
