We’re very excited to announce that following the success of our Stand Up to Stand Out Workshops we are launching our very first Funny Women Course.
The first of these courses will take place over four Saturdays in October. This offers you the opportunity to be tutored over a longer period of time, allowing for you to develop and refine your material. There will be the opportunity for feedback from the Funny Women team and visiting trainers and performers. Plus you will be given a chance to showcase your act at one of our London or Brighton regular nights. It’s not just stand up we'll be covering, we’ll also be exploring the skills needed for sketch, character and improvised comedy.
It’s been brilliant to see so many of our previous workshop attendees enter this year’s Awards. Fingers crossed we’ll see some of them reach the Finals. If this is what workshop participants can achieve, then we’re excited to see how far our courses can take people. Our courses aren’t just for those who wish to grace the stage, we also teach you how to incorporate humour in to your everyday life.
If a course doesn’t tickle your fancy we still have a range of workshops for all levels from introductory to advanced. We are also taking our workshops up to this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
So if you fancy yourself as the next Sarah Millican (who came second in the Funny Women Awards in 2005 and is now the stuff of comedy legends) sign up now. A full list of our upcoming workshops can be seen HERE
