Class Description

Description

Do friends and family think you are naturally funny? Anyone urge you to try your hand at stand-up? Come dip your toe in some comedic waters with ACTORS CONNECTION.

In this online intro class, beginner comics can learn the basics of writing and delivering memorable sets that provide audiences with a satifying laugh-inducing experience. Stand-up comedy is enjoying a heyday because of technology and the internet. And by virtue, thriving with packed comedy clubs all over New York, the US and the world.

In this introductory seminar, you'll learn what it takes to get started and all about how stand-up comedy can take you places you never dreamed possible.


Here's what you'll learn:

  • How you can keep your day job and pursue comedy 
  • How comedy will help you get over the fear of any public speaking
  • Why it makes more sense to start with a comedy class instead of on your own
  • How the comedy business works
  • How comedy can lead to movies, television, voiceover, print modeling, writing, podcasting and hosting
  • Why agents place a huge premium on comedians
  • How you can get paid to travel the world doing comedy
  • How much one can expect to earn doing comedy
  • Why you don't need a manager or even Comedy Central
  • Diversity in Comedy
  • Why shy people often do comedy
  • How technology helps in comedy
  • Why stand-up is more fulfilling and lucrative than improv comedy

Remember, even Jerry Seinfeld says that he was terrified for years to get started doing comedy. Here's your chance to give it a try!

A zoom link to access this event will be sent the morning of the event.
