It’s a fun and practical workshop that looks at :
* How we can develop a funny story from an initial idea to a finished bit.
* Techniques to generate ideas for stories.
* How to develop and edit a story.
* What makes a story work for you and your on stage persona.
* Adding the funny.
Learn to share key information in the most amusing way. After all, stories are often teachable tales.

"Comedy Storytelling Workshop with Alfie Noakes was incredibly helpful. Great mix of theory and practice to help you get the best comic value out of your stories. Lots of of opportunities for feedback and discussion with other comedians too. Helped me work out how to structure a potential story I wasn't sure would work on stage!"

"I did Alfie's Comedy Story Telling workshop on Saturday, which was excellent. Alfie was very good, explaining the methods succinctly, ready to answer questions. I look forward to put these methods into practice, not only for Comedy Story Telling, but also for writing Jokes. Thanks so much"
