About the Workshop
Wanna figure out how to let yourself go and I mean GO in your performances? Maybe you’re a stand-up and you’re like “OK I’m bored of just saying words I wanna flippin be funny with my whole being mannn!” Or maybe you’re just a regular guy knocking about in regular places doing regular stuff and you’re thinking “I wanna be more free, I wanna take more risks, damn it, I wanna access joy in this life!”
If so, come along to my (I’m calling it “experimental”) two-day comedy workshop where we can throw stuff about; find what makes us uniquely funny; and explore different ways to access our stupidity, vulnerability, authenticity, and freedom.
We’ll be thinking about how to stay present, connected, and grounded with yourself and the audience when you are on stage; how to let yourself be seen in your stupidity; playing the reality of the room/event/feeling; bringing truth and vulnerability into your performance; and finding the pleasure in being beautiful on stage. I’m also a Buddhist (what a real one?? Kind of, yeah) and community organiser (like Obama) so I’ll be bringing a bit of mindfulness and community building stuff into the mix as well.
