Stand Up Level 1: Beginning

The Stand Up Level 1: Beginning course is aimed primarily at comedians looking to gain a basic understanding of comedy structure and students with no prior stand up experience, as well as non-performers looking to gain a basic understanding of comedy and public speaking.
In this course students will learn Flappers University's basic structure-based approach to stand-up comedy. Topics covered in this course will include:
The basic elements of joke structure
Becoming confident on stage
Identity exercises
How to mine your personal life for comedy material
Successful completion of this course will culminate in a stage performance in front of a live audience on one of our Flappers club stages!
At Flappers University we believe that comedy is truly an art-form, a combination of raw talent and technique. Talent can be lost without technique, so we first teach joke structure and the basic language of comedy. We also believe that what makes a great comedian is being personal and authentic and, perhaps, a rule-breaker, so we provide a safe and fun environment where you can be just that: authentic, inspired and successful. Whether you are already a working comedian or looking to make it your profession, or simply need help with that next presentation or just want to come and have fun, we can help you find the path to funny.
