Learn the basics of standup comedy from professional comics. The class ends with a graduation show where you’ll deliver a five-minute comedy set to a public audience. Our 600+ graduates have gone on to perform on some of the world’s biggest stages, including Warner Theater, Gotham Comedy Club, and The White House.

Participants will have weekly writing “homework” to prepare a 5-minute set for their graduation show on October 28th.
