Stand Up 101: Intro to Stand Up Comedy (Digital Edition)


  • 414 East 9th Street Tucson, AZ, 85705 United States (map)

Learn the art of standup comedy utilizing the TIM philosophy to finding the funny fast. Discover how to nurture true stories into a routine that both engages and entertains your audience. Our experienced instructors will teach you to construct a stage persona, performance mechanics, develop a joke, and create sets this will hit with an audience.

This will be a Digital Correspondence version of the class. Students will get one content module per week including a writing exercise to complete. There will be a weekly class session 1-3pm where students will join a video conference call to chat with their instructor and classmates about the course material and run stand up sets.

Instructed by local standup comedians Rory Monserat & Rich Gary!
