A fun, low-pressure workshop for people interested in stand-up comedy or simply improving their confidence and public speaking skills.

We'll discuss stage presence, persona, and do some writing exercises as well as practice speaking in front of the group on a mic. We'll also touch on the local stand-up scene, online comedy, and even writing for TV.
