Are you interested in becoming a comic? Do you need to brush up on your skills? Are you located away from New York, or simply want to remain in the comfort of your own home? Join us for a Virutal session of Comedy 101, where our instructors focus on the basics, and students begin to find their voice and define their style onstage.
Our 6-week course reviews topics including where to find material, joke structures, writing skills & stage presence, the basics of crafting a set, and how to be in the moment. The course concludes with a virtual show, providing students the opportunity to perform their 5-minute set in front of an audience. Please note: Final Performances are recorded and subject to be used on our social media platforms.
Our instructors are all working comics themselves with credits to their name; they can speak directly to the industry as it is today.
Please note Comedy 101 is a prerequisite for all of our advanced classes; following the student showcase, teachers will make their recommendations regarding a student’s advancement. At FUNY, The StandUp Comedy School, we are passionate about being funny.
