Whether you’re heading to the Fringe (and need to hone that final draft!) or just getting started, this fun, intensive, supportive 4 week class (Monday evenings - 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd June) is for stand-up comedians and solo theatre makers at any level. We’ll generate tons of material, polish existing material, and drill down into structure for a one hour shows. This class is a supportive way to take your comedy writing to the next level and fill you with confidence. We’ll also interrogate the pitfalls and joys of using personal material and will ensure participants feel safe and supported.
