Learn & develop new skills, meet new people, build confidence and have a lot of fun. Our Comedy Workshops focus on a range of elements such as exploring different comedy styles including stand-up, improv and character comedy, developing writing skills, building confidence techniques, observing, questioning, and experimenting with ideas. 

On Sun 26 Oct, participants have the opportunity to perform in a showcase at Brighton Dome Studio Theatre compered by Michael Akadiri, and across the weeks we’ll look at how material is developed along with gaining an insight into marketing a show and behind the scenes roles.
