Stand-up Boot Camp is a 7-week intensive course where beginning level students will learn the fundamentals of stand-up comedy, exploring joke structure, developing their comedic personas, and crafting a 5 minute set to be performed at the culmination of class. Throughout the course, students will attend open mics and showcases (comp. tickets included w/tuition), and perform at one of CC’s open mics prior to the final class, where they will receive student and teacher feedback and integrate it into their class performance. Each class will be held from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at Ynspire Studios ( Av. del Marquès de l'Argentera, 19, ENT 1) Classes 1-2: Dates 25/1 + 1/2 (Developing Your Comedic Voice)In the first two classes we will analyze classic and contemporary styles in comedy and comedic archetypes as we begin to craft our own stage personas and identify our comedic voice. For writing, we will focus on storytelling in the form of short personal narratives. Classes 3-5: 8/2 + 15/2 + 22/2 (Joke Writing, Attitude, and Stage Presence)For weeks 3-5, we will explore different types of joke structures and how attitude helps to frame jokes . During this time, we will generate the majority of the material for our sets, complete with teacher peer-to-peer feedback. Lastly, we will utilize physical and vocal exercises to better connect to the audience when onstage integrating mic techniques, movement vs. stillness, and voice modulation in ‘act-outs’. During this time, students will try some of their material at an open mic and receive teacher feedback. Classes 6-7: 29/2 + 7/3 (Honing our Sets, Hecklers, and Final Show Preparations)Our goal here is to polish our sets by editing out unnecessary info in our setups and punchlines and letting go of jokes that aren’t connecting. After making some changes, we will create a setlist, placing our bits in a specific order to create cohesion and get the biggest laughs. Lastly, we will briefly address the unexpected onstage by addressing hecklers and integrating a bit of crowdwork. Instructor: Luke Messina (@lukemessinacomedy) TuitionEarlybird (until 19/1): 180€Full price (after 19/1): 200€ What people say about Luke 'I highly recommend this class for people who want to try stepping on stage for the first time and also for the ones that need a little nudge to do more writing. It’s an inspiring environment to be around likeminded, funny people and Luke was an incredible teacher to guide us every step of the way.' -Lilla Berdi 'Definitely recommended. It’s a great way to get started in comedy and get introduced to the barna scene' - Jeremy Friedman 'I really recommend this course. Luke is great teacher. He gives all the tools for his students to go on stage without fear and make people laugh ! The courses are well structured and the feedbacks really help to improve the writing and stage presence.' - Camille Bourdier 'Absolutely recommended. Standup can be intimidating, as you are alone in front of the audience. Luke's class is the perfect environment to get out of your comfort zone and get ready to step up and begin your standup journey' - Fabio Frascella 'I think Luke helped create a safe space where everyone felt comfortable, which is important since most new students are worried about doing stand-up for the first time. I liked that there was a non-judgemental environment in which you felt like you could be vulnerable and be allowed to try things out without fear of failure. I really enjoyed learning about the different techniques/forms/structures/styles of stand-up, and would've liked to have found out even more about those things. It was helpful that Luke would also give personal examples of what he was teaching us too. I liked that we had "homework" every week, and it was nice to be able to share that in class. Really appreciated that we could go to Luke's Funky Chunky night and perform there and go and support others there too. Felt like a safe space to try stand-up.I liked that we were working towards a final show where we could invite friends to come watch.' - Samuel Allan
