This is not a lecture. This is not therapy. This is work. You’ll write, test, and refine a 3–5 minute stand-up set with live feedback from club owners, producers, and working comedians, then perform it in a public showcase at Backroom Comedy Club. **WHAT YOU GET** ✔ Weekly Sunday Workshops (6:00–7:45 PM) Hands-on sessions focused on: * Joke structure & fundamentals * Writing efficiently * Reading a room * Curation your own audience * Understanding how comedy rooms actually operates ✔ Live Feedback; Not Notes You’ll receive direct, honest feedback from: * Club owners * Producers * Professional, working comedians ✔ Guaranteed Stage Time Participants receive guaranteed access to open mics every Wednesday & Friday during the program (optional but strongly encouraged). ✔ Public Showcase / Initiation Ceremony All participants perform in a public showcase the following month; where everything comes together. ✔ Access to the Backroom Ecosystem Graduates gain pathways into the Backroom ecosystem (stage time, barking, show running, bar support, and more). No promises. Just access—and what you do with it. **WHO THIS IS FOR** * Brand new comedians * Comedians with 0–2 years experience * People who feel “stuck” and want structure * Anyone serious about learning stand-up properly No experience required. **WHO THIS IS NOT FOR** * People looking for a “safe space” * People who want praise instead of feedback * People unwilling to get on stage * People treating comedy casually This program is respectful, professional, and honest. **DATES** 🗓 Choose your cohort at checkout: * February 1 – February 22 * March 1 – March 22 * April 5 – April 26 🕕 Sundays: 6:00–7:45 PM (Wednesday & Friday mics run separately) **PRICING** 🎫 $300 Full Pay 🎟 Payment Plan: $150 deposit + 2 × $100 payments ($350 total) Capacity: 14 participants per cohort No refunds. Transfers to a future cohort may be considered. **LED BY** Brandon Sobel & Ariel Kagan Club owners, producers, and working comedians at Backroom Comedy Club. Comics who’ve come through this room now signed at Yuk Yuk’s, Absolute Comedy, The Corner, and beyond, including a Kill Tony Golden Ticket winner. **FINAL NOTE** Comedy Dojo is not about becoming famous. It’s about learning how stand-up actually works, from the inside of a working club. If you’re ready to put in the reps, welcome.

Hi everyone, we will be having our Artists who create meetup group at the food court (Near the A & W) of Erin Mills Town Centre, and we look forward to seeing everyone who can make it this coming Saturday, June 6th at 3 pm. This will be a very casual and fun moment to create, connect and engage in conversation as we work on our own art projects. I also look to have a theme for this session to ignite our creativity and give us something to go off of if we're starting from scratch. The theme is "What makes life enjoyable", and the powerful thing it can be to be alive despite all the uncertainty and struggles we might face. I will be providing some art materials for those who need them, but of course, it's highly encouraged to bring your own.
