If you’re thinking about trying stand-up for the first time, our Comedy Lab Stand Up course is for you. 

Get ready to set your inner comic free. 

Our 10-week Stand-up Comedy course will help you find your comedic voice and hone your writing and performance skills. You will be working with exciting industry professionals to create your own 4-minute set which you will perform in front of a live and supportive audience at the end of term. 

The Comedy Lab Stand Up group meet weekly on Saturdays, with a public sharing at the final session which will take place on a Monday evening at our Dean Street venue. We ask that participants commit to attending all 10 weeks.
