Standup Comedy Class SCHEDULE of Standup Classes (Santa Cruz, CA) Can
Standup be taught? You bring the raw material, we will help you with
timing, attitude/persona, styles of comedy, paring down the words. In
these experiential workshops in-class time will be spent writing and
performing. You perform the routines, we will offer constructive
feedback. Prepare to laugh. While
there will be some in-class writing including collaborative comedy
writing and standup writing exercises, the bulk of comedy writing and
rehearsing will be done at home (or in diners, Starbucks and parking
lots). Last class is a show, either at class or in a comedy club. Instructor Carol Roberts is a former standup comic in S.F., NYC, L.A. As
an outgrowth of our standup comedy workshops we are going to write
together and come up with Letterman-Leno types of monologs and skits.
No experience necessary! You may bring standup to work on. In addition
we will tackle topics in the news and popular culture. We will create
new material each week. |
