About this event

Have you already attended one of our classes and want to keep going? Are you interested in playing with other comics on a regular basis? Are you just looking for a fun evening out to try something different? Taught by one the most seasoned comedians in the biz, this ongoing class offers:

🤣 Teaching by Professional Comic(s)

Get pointers and guidelines for writing your jokes to be ready for the stage.

🎭 Feedback by Professionals and Peers

Receive comments and suggestions from other comics in your group or from professionals in the room.

🔥 Comraderie

As many of you found by taking the other classes, there are some great people to work with at our classes!

👀 Get out of the House

It's in person and a wholesome activity that can get you out of the house and into a group of adults up to something good!

👏 Stage Time

Each week everyone will be able to share some jokes in a small group and a few people will be able to get on stage and deliver their stand-up material!

This program is perfect for aspiring comedians, public speakers, or anyone looking to add humour to their repertoire.

🌟 Class format will consist of time learning from the front as well as working in small groups, and time to get up on stage. Limited time will be reserved for performance each week.

The 90-minute classes are timed so that you can stay for the show at Absolute Comedy that starts at 8 PM (optional).

This program is perfect for aspiring comedians, public speakers, or anyone looking to add humour to their repertoire but is especially geared for graduates of our other programs.

Taught by veteran Headliner, Pierre Brault, teacher, Jamine Ackert, and special guests. This class can be taken in conjuction with any of our other classes at the same time.
