-- FIRST TIME EVER DOING STAND UP [SIT DOWN] COMEDY! --
I was given a gift by my dear friends, Chef AJ and her husband Charles (check out her incredible channel here: / chefaj ) to do a six week stand-up comedy workshop with the wonderful amazing teacher Cary Odes. Even though the class was a gift to me, please believe me when I say it's worth every penny. I don't necessarily have aspirations to become a standup comedian, but I wanted to learn the craft. And Cary guides you along for six weeks intimately teaching you the craft! You can check out his workshop here: www.thestandupworkshop.com/
The six week workshop culminates with a comedy showcase and a 5 minute set of material. Here is mine!
I was also very inspired during this six weeks by watching the comedy ‪@masterclass‬ by Judd Apatow and ‪@SteveMartinTube‬ ! I highly recommend these as well!
