Stand Up Comedy Course at Laughing Horse Comedy

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. The course culminated in impressive performances that night at a Free Festival venue with radically improved acts.

I did the beginner course in summer 2019 and the intermediate course in autumn 2020. My experience of both courses where nothing but positive. Jay is a great teacher and the course equips you with everything you need to perform your first ever set. I now regularly gig open mics around Manchester.

Doing the beginners course on Zoom was a very unique experience but Jay taught me stuff that I was interested in and it sparked the passion and creative juices to make longer, stronger and better sets. Before doing the course being a stand up comedian was just a pipe dream... but since doing the course my dreams can now be something that can actually happen.

I tried this course after another one in London that didn't help me - and Jay's teaching was the exact opposite. He helped me find my comedy voice and gave me the editing and writing help to be able to get up and Feel confident. Brilliant.

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.

Spending two days with Jojo was one of my favourite Edinburgh Fringe experiences, and learning to create a set and hear a room full of people laughing after just two days was amazing!

Obviously, no two day course is going to make you into the next Frankie Boyle on its own, but for those thinking about a career in stand-up or those who just want to learn a few of the skills this is an excellent place to start.
