About this Event

Learn to Write & Perform Stand-Up Comedy is a supportive course designed for people who want to try comedy, build confidence or challenge themselves creatively.

Delivered by Gags for Good CIC, the course combines practical comedy skills with confidence-building techniques in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

You’ll learn how to:

  • find your comedic voice
  • turn everyday experiences into jokes
  • structure a stand-up set
  • handle nerves and stage fright
  • perform in front of an audience (at your own pace)

No pressure. No gatekeeping. Just encouragement, laughter and support.


WHO IT’S FOR

This course is ideal if you:

  • have never performed before
  • feel nervous speaking in front of others
  • want to build confidence or self-esteem
  • love comedy and want to try it yourself
  • are returning to creativity after a break

You do not need to be “naturally funny”, that’s literally what the course is for.


WHAT TO EXPECT
  • Small, supportive group
  • Inclusive and respectful environment
  • Practical exercises (nothing embarrassing or forced)
  • Clear guidance from experienced comedians
  • Optional performance — watching is OK too

You’re always in control of how much you take part.
