This fun, inclusive online course will take for 4 Monday evenings, online (7-9 UK time) on 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th July.

We‘ll generate tons of material, chat about the open mic scene and beyond, and work on your confidence. Participants will come away with a honed 5 minute set.

There‘s no pressure, but early on you will be encouraged to research open mic comedy nights near you, with the hope that you can book your first gig before the final session.

The course is run by experienced comedian, writer and tutor Amy Mason, Chortle Breakthrough Act nominee (Free Mason , Behold!)
