How Long Are The Workshops?
We currently offer two workshops. Stand-up Comedy 101, geared for those students who have never performed stand-up before and Taking Your Stand-up Comedy Seriously,  for those with limited performing experience.  Each workshop is held one night a week for six consecutive weeks. Each session is two hours long.  Both workshops end with a Graduation Showcase in front of family and friends.  To register, click here.
