STAND-UP IMPROVERS SESSION
(See below for beginners)
1 hour session on Zoom
Improve your stand-up performance and material
This is the session for you if:
- you have started doing stand-up
- you have a video of an open-spot
- and you have a script to work on
(If you don’t already have a literal script you can type up some of your material for the session)
Send me a video of an open-spot and a script ahead of the session.
In the session I will work with you on your performance and material:
PERFORMANCE
- I will go over clips from your video with you. We will watch key sections and discuss what’s working well already and where you can improve your delivery, performance and stage craft
MATERIAL
- I will go over your material, showing you what’s working and where you can improve the material
and we will explore new angles and topics for you to write about
We will look at:
* Coming up onto the stage and starting your set – how to get off to the best start
* Using the microphone – how to use the microphone professionally and so you are not too loud or too quiet
* The pace and timing of your delivery – getting the rhythm right so your jokes land
* How to interact with the audience – asking questions, reacting to heckling
* Pausing for laughs - how to do it and what to do while you’re pausing
* Your physicality on stage – how to use body language and physical comedy
* Joke techniques like rule-of-three, misdirection and undercutting.
* Act-outs: are you doing them? Can you do them better?
* Your persona – how are you coming across and how you can develop your on stage self.
The session is £50 GBP for 1 hour on Zoom
You will receive inspiring, detailed and practical feedback to improve your writing and performance
Plus an MP4 video of the session
I work with new comedians who are performing in English in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, India (including Hinglish performances), East Asia and more.
- I have also worked with comics who don’t perform in English, or not exclusively in English, as so many of the practical skills apply in any language.
INTERMEDIATE SESSION BOOKING
Please send me ahead of the session:
* A video of a gig (tell me where and when)
