Stand Up Beginner's Course
Sunday 23rd April 2023, 10:30am to 12:30pm - The Camden Head
This course is for people who have never done stand up comedy or new comedians looking to sharpen their act. We will look at the very basics of stand up, from learning how to write a “pull back and reveal” joke to applying for gigs on the London circuit and the course culminates in your own gig at Angel Comedy!
This is a 5 week course, running on Sundays from the 23rd of April to the 28th of May (not 7th May). The course includes a final showcase at The Bill Murray - additional to the five class dates.
Previous alumni have gone on to place 2nd in the Amused Moose and 3rd in So You Think You're Funny, and have been finalists in the Leicester Square New Comedian competition and in Prides Got Talent. 4 alumni have got to the semi-finals of So You Think You're Funny and 2 Beat the Gong at the Comedy Store. This could also be you in the year after you take this course!
