About this Event
This eight-week stand-up comedy workshop is designed to help comics write, refine, and perform a polished five-minute set ready for open mics, showcases, and live shows.
Each week features an interactive, performance-driven workshop focused on the core skills working comedians rely on, including:
• Writing techniques and joke development
• Joke structure and storytelling
• Stage presence and mic control
• Comedy terminology and set construction
The course is led by Ellis Rodriguez, a professional stand-up comedian with years of live performance experience. Sessions give every student real-time feedback each week.
This workshop is ideal for comics looking to build stronger material, gain confidence on stage, and establish a repeatable writing process in a supportive but realistic comedy setting.
