A
event
held at Sidney & Eden
on Sunday 21st January. The event starts at 13:00.
Love your local stand up scene but don't see your own humour or experiences reflected in it?
The funny one in your friend group but your mates are sick of being your audience?
Can't watch live comedy because you feel sick with envy?
Want to challenge yourself in a healthy way?
WELL its time to get started in stand up comedy. You know it, your friends know it and even your cat knows it.
This is a beginners guide, with a focus on encouraging a more diverse and exciting scene. WE NEED YOUR VOICES! We cover joke writing, mic holding, nerve battling and community building. The dos and donts and all the things you usually find out after you have done them wrong. This is the basics, not exhaustive, but enough to start you on your journey into funny.
Hosted by Bristol's favourite MC (scrambled comedy, Sheden comedy, seen on BBC 1 and banned from BGT) Eva Bindeman, but taught by a range of professional acts.

For acts who are under represented in the Bristol comedy scene. If you are unsure if this applies to you reach out. With a focus on supporting acts of colour, queer acts and female/NB identifying. We welcome acts with extra needs but a course in a fully accessible space is running on the 17th.
AT the end of the intro course a showcase will be set up for any acts wanting to perform (not mandatory), and a second step course will be offered later in the year.
Any questions/concerns message Eva her on insta @evabcomedy and she'll answer them all.
