The course was led by comedian Jay Sodagar and focused on getting a decent show out of a group of beginners. Students were coached through writing, editing, and stage-craft in meticulous, highly effective detail. The reviewer noted that audience connection was emphasized and the group bonded quickly through the shared experience of being vulnerable and acting out ideas.

I have found the course immensely helpful, as an actor for a number of years - with the tutor very supportive and helpful. I have now managed to learn a whole new way to perform in just a couple of days.

4/5 stars 

This course has to be one of the best on offer. Notable was the relaxed and uncompetitive atmosphere, in no small part down to the tutor who focused on helping each participant to find a personal style, coached them on how to edit their material and explained how not to fall out with comperes. Everyone seemed delighted with the experience.

The course has improved my confidence and the open spot I performed went down really well! And it's pretty cheap too! If you've got funny bones, you can do no better.

Jay's courses - the intro through to the advanced - have infused a new vitality and structure into my comedy ethos. I truly believe that had I stumbled onto Jay sooner, I'd have much more to show for my comedy career aspirations.
