Make your first steps in stand-up

There are fans and strong opponents of stand-up courses and different coaches. "How can you learn stand-up?" - yeah, it makes sense, but we created a program for those who wants to do the first steps in comedy or structure their approach and get out of stasis.

We don't claim that you will do world tour because of us. It is on you. We give you tools that you can use on different stages of your career or even without any career, in your daily life.

It is really impossible to teach stand-up comedy; we agree with that, but explaining how it works is entirely possible. When you're learning to cook, no one guarantees that you'll nail it right away, but it's much easier if more experienced chefs have explained the basics.

So don’t wait around and sign up for the course now, and in just six weeks, your first salad monologue will be ready.

Plus, we run our own open mics every week, so you'll definitely have the stage time to practice your new comedy skills.

Many people hear from their friends, “You’re funny,” or “You should try stand-up”, and sometimes not even ironically. But how do you actually start?

And if you’ve already started, how do you keep growing and stand out among hundreds of thousands of English-speaking comedians around the world?

This workshop is created and led by comedians with over 400 hours on stage combined. They written dozens of hours’ worth of jokes, some hilarious, some were just a part of the journey, and they’re ready to help you find the answers.

Workshop "Let's start"

Duration: 6 weeks, 9 sessions (including 2 performances)

What you will learn:

  • Why you are funny

  • Structure of a joke

  • 10+ tools to build a joke

  • Basics of storytelling

What you’ll gain:

  • Your first monologue about YOU

  • Basic knowledge of how stand-up works

  • A group of other comedy-fans and -nerds

  • Opportunities to keep growing within the community

Duration: 2 weeks, 6 sessions (including 2 performances)

What you will learn:

  • How to edit your material

  • Should you record your act and why

  • How to improve your existing material

  • How to structure your material

  • How to be the MC

  • And all the other stand-up hacks

What you’ll gain:

  • Tools for developing existing and writing new monologues

Workshop "What's next?"

Who it’s for:

EVERYONE! You don’t need to dream of a stand-up career to take part. This can be your hobby, something you do at your own pace and in your own style. Even if the two performances you do during the course are your only stage experience, and you simply want to sharpen your joke-writing skills for yourself, work, or friends, it’s still an invaluable experience.

Who it's for:

For experienced comedians or those planning to become one. If you’ve decided to take stand-up seriously, it requires real effort, and it's much harder without structure and strategy. Becoming a professional takes around 10,000 hours of practice, but that number can triple if you first spend time just trying to figure out what to do, and then trying to understand why something isn’t working.
