"I just wanted to thank you and Kevin
for this weekend's course. I found it
very helpful and informative." - Jeremy
Leverton, 4-week course graduate |
In the course we aim to
develop the students writing material, and is
about creating and generating new material,
writing longer routines for longer sets, and
developing and extending the students current
set and material.
This
is an intensive course over 6 weeks where you
will develop a 15-20 minutes routine, and
from this perform 10-15 minutes at a showcase
show to the general public. The showcase is also
an opportunity where the comics can invite
comedy industry people and film their set for
show reels - or just get a chance to perform a
longer set. This course is led by Jay Sodagar - click
here for more information on the tutor.
