STAND UP 101:
In this class, you’ll learn the basic structure of a short joke, how it works, and how you can write your own. Next, you’ll learn how that very same structure is applied to long-form jokes and comedic storytelling. This class is a good blend of the theoretical (how to write for stand-up), and the practical (how to perform it).

STAND UP 201:
In this advanced program, rookie comics and Stand-Up Level 1 graduates can expect a class that's focused on feedback on their writing. Got a joke that's not connecting? A premise you want to flesh out? Let's work on it together! Heads up, this program is more of a joke laboratory than a traditional class!
