A graduation showcase for the students of the Lincoln Lodge's Standup Seminary!About this Event
Come and watch the students of Standup Seminary showcase their 5 minute standup sets!
Stand-Up Seminary is a beginners foundation course that strives to give prospective performers the confidence and skills they need to begin a career in standup comedy or just have some fun trying a new experience! The 5 week course is founded on the comedy principles of the critically acclaimed Lincoln Lodge, a national leader in cultivating and developing new comedy talent.
RSVP and attendance are free (and we never have a drink minimum!) but we do suggest a $5 donation at the door to help the Lincoln Lodge, a 501(c)3, keep our classes and shows affordable and accessible to all!
