Develop the ability to relax and generate laughter. Whether you want to perform stand-up comedy, or give engaging presentations, making people laugh will boost your success. Find the “place of power” in a room, and be confident with a crowd. Explore body language, persona, and rhythm, so your audience wants to know what happens next. Learn about joke structure, and how to reveal jokes that already exist.

Persona:
Your persona is the lens through which the audience sees your material. A persona that’s clear can make poor material hilarious. A persona that’s hard to understand can make brilliant material dull. A slight adjustment to your presence on stage can make a huge impact.

Who can attend?
Anyone who wants to try stand-up. Those who want an injection of confidence at public speaking. Comedians and actors who want to be funnier. People who want a fun way of improving their English.
