ABOUT LAUGHING MATTERS:
LAUGHING MATTERS is an awesome learning experience about performing Stand Up Comedy. The structure is where young actors learn about the fundamentals writing and performing stand up comedy. The class begins with the process of using the history of one's life to consider the funny stories they have that are current and from their past.
We have the actors work with comedy writers, show runners in comedy and a director to create 2-3 minutes of personalized material that serves as their individual piece.
Over the course of the class and rehearsals the material is refined just like on a sit com to see what jokes work. We aim to punch it up to maximize the humor for the show. All the actors then perform in a show where each performs their unique and individualized material. Performing Stand Up Comedy is the hardest thing to do in the industry and kids who learn it can really raise the bar of the entirety of the work in comedy and overall performance.
SCHEDULE:
After You Register, You will recieve a questionnaire sheet to fill out with as much detail as possible about YOU and your life experiences. You will then work together with our industry writer & use that as your material for your stand up routine!
Throughout these days we will have:
DAY ONE: Evaluation night! We want to get to know YOU, and how you perform. Prepare a comedy scene, monologue, or even sketch characters or an existing stand up routine if you have it for Joey Paul and our guest writers! This night is to see your comedy performance style/skills to know the best way to showcase your talent in our live performance.
