Finding Your Comedic Voice
ABOUT FINDING YOUR COMEDIC VOICE
Finding your Comedic Voice is a 6 week workshop for aspiring stand up comedians, monologists and anyone else who wants to say funny things to a group of people. You’ll learn the bones of a stand up set, the unspoken rules of performing stand up, and be able to workshop your material in a supportive space. Most importantly, we’ll help you find your unique voice, which you then get to show off with a 5 minute set at our stand up showcase at the end of the series! Open to all levels of performers, ideal for a newbie who wants to dip their toe in the sticky waters of comedy.
