Crack Comedy's Stand Up Course - Starting September 2021
There isn’t one type of comedy out there, but there is only one way to do stand-up comedy - and that is to stand up and do it!
In this six-week program, we cover the basics of the craft of stand-up comedy. The course is taught by British-based American comic Erich McElroy and at Crack Comedy in Kingston; Kingston’s longest running comedy club.
The classroom is an intimate, 60 seater venue and the perfect intimate space for what might be your first ever gig.
The course is appropriate for those brand new to comedy and who want to give it a try, as well as for newer performers who want to gain more confidence, sharpen their performance and learn about the business of stand-up comedy.
The course will:
Cover how to be natural and comfortable on stage
Provide a chance to get up, try your ideas and get continuing feedback
Give you the skills to be a great MC
Cover the 'do’s and don’t’s' of talking to the audience
Help you structure your set, find your voice and learn what you want to present to the audience
Cover practical tips for getting gigs or maybe even start your own.
