About this Event
Traum-edy: A Joke Writing Workshop is a hands-on, supportive safe space where you’ll learn how to transform real-life experiences into comedy that can heal you and maybe the audience. Whether you’re brand new to stand-up comedy or looking to sharpen your material, this workshop will guide you through the essentials of joke structure, finding your unique voice, performance skills and turning personal stories into something powerful, and funny!
You’ll leave with new material, practical tools, tips for triggering moments, performance skills and the confidence to bring your story to the stage.
All ages are welcome but we do cater to dark themes.
