In this Deep Dive, we study Ali Siddiq's comedy.
About this Event
Storytellers: A Comedic Deep Dive is a four-week class for comedians and storytellers who want to build a story set from scratch.
We study how Ali Siddiq builds stories then use those tools to write and shape your own 5–7 minute story set. Each week you'll leave with a piece of your set, and by the last class you'll have a full set.
The class ends with Storytellers, a student showcase in December where you'll perform the set you built.
WHEN
Wednesdays, 6–8 pm
Nov 18, Dec 2, Dec 9, Dec 16 (no class Nov 25)

ABOUT ME
I'm Rochelle McConico, a comedian, writer, director, producer and teacher in Austin. I founded Cosmic Raccoon Creative Lab, a comedy-wellness studio offering stand-up, improv and wellness programming, and I'm the Standup Director for the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival's 20th anniversary. The Austin Chronicle named me 2023 Critic's Pick for Best All-Around Champion of Comedy, and I'm a 2026 City of Austin arts grant recipient. I've spent more than a decade creating spaces where comedy builds community.
I'm building my own new story set, Reclamation, alongside this class, so you'll be learning from someone who's in it with you.
