Reviews for the Laughing Horse two-day stand-up comedy course are consistently positive, with students highlighting the effectiveness of the practical tools provided, the supportive nature of the tutors (specifically Jay Sodagar), and the course's ability to prepare beginners for their first stage performance. Graduates have noted improvements in confidence and performance skills, with some continuing to perform at open mic nights after completing the training. Anonymous Reviewer Three Weeks Magazine Highly positive This course has to be one of the best on offer. Once it's over, it's easy to see why so many people want to be stand-ups. Even in a first time set, the thrill of a gag hitting the mark is a powerful drug. 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. Dom Hutchins Laughing Horse Comedy Testimonials Positive 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 only planned to do the course so I could tell myself that I gave it ago . I now regularly gig open mics around Manchester and about to take part in Beat The Frog at the Frog and Bucket. David Watson Laughing Horse Comedy Testimonials Positive 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 Duncan Hart Laughing Horse Comedy Testimonials Positive 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. Stephanie Parker Laughing Horse Comedy Testimonials Positive 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. ### Have you taken this course? Leave a review!
