Stand-Up: Finding Your Voice

Class limited to 14 students.

Have you always wanted to perform stand-up but don't know where to begin? In this class, we will breakdown how to get started writing a stand-up routine and find your voice as a comedian. Our methods will include how to mine personal stories for material, how to write one-liners and premises, and how to use improvisation to generate ideas instead of staring down a blank page. Classes will also give students the lay-of-the-land on the NY comedy scene - from welcoming weekly open mics to the best shows to see pros in action. Every class will include stage time to try out original material in front of classmates.

7-Week Class: Thursdays, 3:30PM - 6:30 PM, January 9th - February 20th

Note: Class may end between 6:00-6:30 PM depending on number of enrollments.

Where: The BCC Dog House, Studio #1 (137 Montrose Ave, Brooklyn)
