Do you have dreams of being a stand-up comedian? Have you ever wondered how professional comedians and comedy writers create their material? Have you been told you are funny and want to learn how to take your humor on stage? Are you curious about what it’s like working in the comedy industry?
In collaboration with the Cleveland Comedy Festival, the Ohio Center for the Book is presenting three workshops hosted by Dave Schwensen on writing, performing, and the business of comedy.
The workshop sessions will be held at Cleveland Public Library’s historic downtown Main Library in the Ohio Center for the Book area (2nd Floor) from 3:00pm to 5:00pm on:
Saturday, August 9 – Writing Stand-up Comedy
Saturday, October 18 – Performing Stand-up Comedy
Saturday, December 13 – The Serious Business of Stand-up Comedy

He shares his extensive experience in workshops and seminars across the country, and attendees will have the chance to learn from the best.
