A 4-week stand-up comedy program with real feedback, guaranteed stage time, and a public showcase inside a working comedy club.
**WHAT IS COMEDY DOJO?**
Comedy Dojo is a 4-week stand-up comedy program designed for new comedians (0–2 years) and beginners who want real reps, real feedback, and real stage time, not vague motivation.
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.

* February 1 – February 22
* March 1 – March 22

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.

Coffee, Music, laugh-out-loud & Harnessing Your ADHD Superpower
Hey awesome ADHDers! Come stop blaming ourselves for our funny "mistakes" and start celebrating our magical power with ADHD. No promotions & no therapists, we're just a bunch of awesome ADHDers getting together to inspire each other on what we can do (and others can't!) because of our super brains, hear funky stories about how we mess up with certain things sometimes (and have some good laughs) and (serious part here:) learn how to harness your power in both work and relationships, and (most importantly) sip some coffee.
Meanwhile, we'll be sharing some good music that we find really helps with certain emotional states we go roller-coaster through.
But if none of these makes you sign up (continue reading plz!)... come meet Lorien, an OSU sophomore, ADHD 17, physics & philosophy double major, language coach, 10 years of classical guitar, 13 years of karate, 16 years of equestrian, and a startup founder.
Where: Daydreamer Coffee, 222 W Lane Ave, Columbus, OH 43210
When: Sunday, April 5th, 10AM
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Feel free to come when you can and leave when you want.

Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
BUZZ & REVIEWS: Overall some solid early reviews but this one seems to be a bit polarizing! We’ll have to see for ourselves. Those in the “loved it” camp say is not the rom-com the trailers would have you to believe! Instead, a twisty darkly comedic drama that’s “anchored by two compelling performances,” “an original idea, great cast, and a movie that’s gonna have people talking at the end of it!”
PLAN: A slightly later showtime so we’ll go with dinner before the show this time. Here’s the plan: For dinner before the movie, meet at nearby BRASSICA between 5:45 and 6:00pm. Go through the line, and we’ll try to snag as many of the high-top tables as we can. For the movie, please purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 7:00 and 7:15pm. I’ll be with the dinner group and will try to get there as close to 7pm as possible. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater. When you purchase yours at counter, be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
