STANDUP COMEDY FOR FUN AND PROFIT

(OR ANYWAY FOR FUN)

Learn what you need to know to have a thriving practice of standup comedy

Is standup comedy something you enjoy doing – or might enjoy doing if you could figure out how to start? If so, then make sure to make time for this mind-blowing masterclass with international comedy guru John Vorhaus.

In just two transformation hours you will learn:

• The key to developing successful standup material: keep the focus on YOU!
• How to confront and overcome your performance fears by setting the right expectations and taking small wins.
• The “math” of writing great comic material (comedy = reality + exaggeration)
• How to make a place for yourself in the standup community and raise your status by helping others.
• How to drag yourself onstage for the first time without wanting to throw up or kill yourself.
• How to mine your life experience for great material
• How to write and perform your “solid first five” – by keeping the focus on YOU!

There will also be plenty of time for questions and answers around such topics as the joke-writing process, collaborating with other comics, building professional opportunities for yourself, getting paid (!), carving out time in your life for standup, explaining your goals and intentions to other people, and weaving a happy, successful practice of standup comedy into your life and time.

Who is this webinar for? Standup comics, of course, but also improv actors, dramatic actors, writers for television and film, advertising professionals (because you know that you want out of advertising, right?), basically anyone who has ever cracked a joke and gotten a laugh, and would like to harness the awesome power of that more consistently and reliably.

Here’s what you stand to gain:

• More material
• More clarity on your goals
• More confidence
• Less fear
• Less procrastination
• Less discomfort on stage

Here’s what you stand to lose:

• Some inhibitions
• The sense that standup is something you can’t do
• Your standup comedy virginity

If standup comedy is an itch that you’ve always wanted to scratch, or even just something you’d like to learn more about, this is one webinar that you will not want to miss.

About your presenter:

John Vorhaus is best known as the author of The Comic Toolbox, the little book of SITCOM, and the brand-new little book of STANDUP. He has taught and trained comedy writers and performers in three dozen countries on five continents for almost 40 years. He has already forgotten what most people know about comedy, but that’s due more to his bad memory than his information base.
