STAND UP ADVANCED
YOU’VE GOT GOOD JOKES. NOW MAKE THEM GREAT.
Starts July 22nd | Wednesdays, 7–10 PM | Instructor Laura House | Session 6 weeksYou've got a set. You've got laughs. And now you're wondering: what's next?
This course builds off of the lessons learned in Stand Up Beginner and Intermediate and helps you grow your jokes in length and strength! We work on stage presence, finding courage to keep going when the going gets rough, thinking on your feet, and finding the funny! This 6-week course meets once a week for 3 hours, culminating in a public stand-up show on one of The Crow stages.
What this class actually doesSix weeks to a sharper, more confident stand-up.
IRON OUT THE NITTY GRITTY
Word choice, timing, structure — the micro-decisions that separate a joke that gets a laugh from one that gets a real laugh. We go line by line until it's tight.
HONE YOUR ON STAGE PERSONA
The most unforgettable comics aren't just funny — they're specific. This class helps you figure out who you are on stage and lean into it hard.
A REAL WRITERS ROOM
You'll workshop your material alongside other comics at your level. The feedback is honest, the energy is collaborative, and the punchlines get better every week.
A FINAL SHOWCASE
You perform your sharpened set for a real audience on August 27th. And you leave with a high-resolution video of your performance.
