Overview

Learn the strategies professional comedians use to write killer material, engage audiences, and succeed financially

Description

Discover the untold secrets of top comedians. This in-depth course covers everything from your very first time on stage to how to take an established comedy career to the next level.

The Stand-Up Comedy Mastery Program strikes a balance in teaching the exact steps new comedians need to write and perform comedy for the very first time while also drilling down and teaching advanced strategies veteran comedians use to write and perform killer material, become more financially successful, and create a name for themselves in the industry.

There are over 13 hours of videos on writing stand-up comedy, performing comedy, and marketing yourself as a comedian.

The course begins by creating a foundation for new comedians. Not only does it provide easily applicable, step-by-step strategy, but it will shatter many of the misconceptions new comedians have that prevent them from breaking out of open mics and keeping them from experiencing the pure joy of packed crowds and rolling laughter.

Writing modules dive into both the tangible and intangible aspects of a comedian's material. You'll learn multiple strategies for how to kick off the writing process, punch up your material, and expand your ideas into hilarious stories.

In the performance modules you'll learn how to prepare for a performance, strategies on how to keep the audience engaged throughout the show, and how to create a natural, conversational feel to your material.

In the marketing modules you'll learn how to systematically build your career from performing on open mics, to emceeing, to getting paid feature act and headliner gigs. You'll also learn how to produce a comedy show yourself and pocket the profits.

In the final modules you'll discover effective strategies for creating hilarious analogies, developing funny characters on stage, breaking through writer's block, and enhancing your natural creativity.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
