About this Event
The Lincoln Lodge has created The Stand-Up Seminary - 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.
The class requires no previous stand up comedy or writing experience and culminates with a live performance of the material developed in class.
The weekly 2 hour sessions of this course will focus on:

Finding an attitude and persona
Connecting with an audience
