Stand-Up Level 2: Solidifying Your Set w/ JoAnn Schinderle (January-February) (Mondays)
Solidifying Your Set
This class is limited to 12 students.
Building on Level 1 "Finding Your Voice", Stand-up: Level 2 is all about solidifying your choices to develop your voice and find your niche. By focusing on each individual’s strengths, this course will focus on how to craft a clean set, host and put together a show, and develop tricks to solidify your own voice.
We will workshop material as a group and I’ll give personalized feedback every week. If you want to take your sets to a deeper level and have a better understanding of what makes you funny, take this class. Class will culminate in a performance of each student’s 10-minute sets, leading you to the beginnings of your very own stand alone show.

Bio:
JoAnn Schinderle is a Brooklyn-based standup, actress, and writer. Getting her start in Portland, OR she was voted PDX's Funniest Person by peers and industry, as well as an ‘Undisputable Genius of Comedy’ by local papers. A seasoned opener for touring acts including Fortune Feimster, Tom Papa, and Lena Dunham (‘14 book tour), JoAnn has also been featured nationally in festivals such as; SF Sketchfest, Bridgetown, Bumbershoot, B4UDIE, & 10,000 Laughs.
In 2019, JoAnn wrote and produced an album of period jokes titled ‘Dark Jeans', as a middle finger to the notion that 'period jokes aren’t funny'. Turns out, they are? Dark Jeans sat #1 on iTunes during the week of its release with Comedy Dynamics. From there, she's a proud featured talking head on the 2024 MSNBC documentary 'Periodical' featuring Gloria Steinem. Schinderle serves her day job duties as a live audience host for network TV, Venue Manager for UCB LA (‘22-’23) & UCB NYC (‘23-24’), and her most favorite job of writing commissioned erotica under her not-yet-famous company, ‘JoJosNosNos’.
