About this Event
Discover your unique voice, create your 5-7 minute set, learn stage techniques, improve your writing, and perform. This workshop will culminate with an awesome show for all of your friends and or family to attend! Limited spots available.
The small group workshop, which Keenan started teaching in Mexico City, turns on the idea that your funny standup comes from what is unique about you. From the very first class, we will listen to your jokes and set. We work on improving your set by focusing in two principal areas:
1. What makes YOU uniquely funny
2. How to turn this FUNNY into jokes.
Keenan, known his energetic, authentic, and off-the-cuff style, started in New York before bringing his standup to Mexico – in English and his non-native Spanish – and returning to NYC. He’s graced The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, New York Comedy Festival, and many other festivals. His new standup hour, Sneaky, has played dozens of times across cities in Mexico and now in New York. He’s on Instagram @keenanstandup
