Standup Comedy 101 with Adam Broud

Standup Comedy 101 is ImprovBroadway’s introductory course that is great for beginners or veteran standup comics. The class introduces the basics of standup joke writing and performance

Students will learn how to brainstorm, write, test, and perform jokes. Standup Comedy 101 is scheduled right before ImprovBroadway’s open mic night, so students can test out their material to various audiences

This class is the pre-requisite for Standup Comedy 201.
