You've been saying yes-and for a while now. Time to find out what you actually think.
This four-week stand-up comedy course is built for people who already know how to be in a room: improvisers, performers, and comedy fans who are ready to step into their own point of view and do it with a mic in their hand. No experience in stand-up required. Just bring your observations, your complaints, and your willingness to be specific.
Each session combines craft instruction with material on its feet. You'll write, perform, and get feedback every week, and by June 20 you'll have a tight 5-minute set ready for a real audience.
May 23 / Your Voice, Your Point of View. What makes stand-up different from improv, and how to find your comedic perspective. You'll leave with your first premises on paper.
May 31 / Building the Bit. Joke structure, specificity, and why the thing that drives you crazy is probably your best material. Plus an intro to act-outs, characters, accents, and impressions as tools to bring material to life.
June 7 / Stage Presence and Working the Room. Mic technique, physicality, silence as a tool, and crowd work basics. We'll also cover roast-style material: how to punch smart, read a room, and make it land.
June 14 / Your Tight 5. Edit, sequence, and connect your material into a cohesive set. Full run-throughs with feedback.
June 20 / Showcase. Perform your tight 5 for an invited audience, hosted by your instructor. Post-show debrief included.
Improv background welcome; stand-up experience not required.
About the Instructor
Bonnie Q is a comedian, teaching artist, and communications coach who has taught at NYU Tisch, The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, and Baruch College (CUNY). She has produced and performed at the New York Comedy Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival (UK), and The Peoples Improv Theatre, and has coached everyone from first-timers to lawyers to working performers. Her own sets lean into celebrity impressions, accents, crowd work, and roast material, which means she's just as comfortable going off-script as she is helping you find yours.
