Discover more humor in the world while laughing with new friends, too!
During this introductory class, you'll dip your toes in the stand-up comedy waters while learning about yourself and finding humor in the world around you. Experiment with different approaches to joke writing while picking and choosing the concepts that work best for you as you lean into your own personality.
