What to Expect
A friendly, low-pressure space to try out new comedy in front of a small, supportive group. Each week, participants perform a few minutes of stand-up, character comedy, alternative comedy, spoken word, or comic poetry. You’ll then have a short one-to-one reflection, followed by constructive group feedback to help sharpen both material and delivery.
Sessions run for two hours with a short break, and group size is capped to ensure everyone gets a fair share of stage time — around 10 minutes each in total. Alongside your own set, you’ll learn from watching others, hearing how their material lands, and contributing your own insights.
Why Book?
A supportive and practical workshop that’s also fun. Test new ideas, build confidence, sharpen your performance and material, and connect with like-minded people.
