VENUE AND EVENT INFO
The Philadelphia Comedy Academy is a workshop which focuses on developing and honing a 5 minute set of stand up. By the end of the month you'll get to perform this act at the prestigious Punch Line Philly.
Just like other art forms (dance, theater or vocal program) training is essential. There's a foundation that can be learned which will expedite your success... from beginner to advanced.
Here's what you'll learn!
- How to break into NYC and LA clubs and become a weekend regular.
- Get a tv agent and manager.
- Microphone technique and improving stage mechanics.
- The difference between being a city comic and a road comic. The pros and cons of both and finding the perfect medium.
- Developing an original persona and learning how to write for it.
- How to develop comedy ideas into a real stand up act.
- Different styles of writing stand up.
- How to go about actually making a living as a comedian.
- Make a dvd of your performance by a videographer from comcast.
AND you'll get a professional video from a videographer to commemorate your growth and to submit to clubs, competitions and festivals. (Most require a professional quality tape.)
Classes take place on January 6, 13 & 27. The Graduation show is on Saturday, February 1st at 3:30PM.
