Wivenhoe Funny Farm will be resuming shows later in 2010
Ever fancied a go at making people laugh through stand-up comedy or sketches?
There will be comedy workshops run by an experienced comedy tutor at The Minories Bistros on the following dates:
Saturday 10th April (5pm-7.30pm)
Saturday 17th April (5pm-7.30pm)
The workshops are suitable for anyone interested in having a go at comedy writing and performing and would be especially useful for beginners, or newer comics who wish to improve their writing and performing skills or actors seeking to improve their spontaneity and comic skills. The workshops will also enable people to create material and share ideas in a supportive environment.
The courses are run by Hazel Humphreys, a comedian, promoter and comedy tutor since 2004. They have been described by Martin Newell of the East Anglian Daily Times as follows:
"I initially had my reservations..about comedy being 'taught'...and yet having observed Hazel and her students at work I began to realise that...the course is not in itself a box of tricks. It merely shows each students how to open their own particular boxes of tricks. And even if none of these participants ever went on to perform in a club they would have at least gained a measure of poise and confidence.."
There will be sections on finding inspiration, writing and editing material and performing stand-up (including using microphones) - as well as writing sketches and improv. In addition there is advise on finding gigs in the stand-up comedy circuit and how to deal with nerves. Course notes will be made available as hand-outs.
I have been running comedy courses and workshops since 2004 - teaching both adults and children how to find and use their funny bones. Graduates of my workshops have gone on to perform stand-up, win comedy competitions and even perform on TV! In addition the workshops help to improve creativity, public speaking skills and confidence. See http://www.wivenhoefunnyfarm.co.uk/#/comedy-workshops for more information and testimonials.
The cost for either of these workshops is £12 (concessions and group discounts available).
PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND EITHER WORKSHOP - (maximum group size is 15 people)
Also let me know which area of comedy you are most interested in exploring - and your level of experience - as it may be possible to tailor the classes accordingly.
