# For an online stand-up course, what would make it feel properly practical?

I can see the obvious advantage of doing a course from home, especially if work makes getting across London every week a pain. But stand-up is such a physical thing that I’d want more than a Zoom lecture about joke structure. If you were comparing online courses, what would you look for — everyone performing material each session, live feedback, small groups, a final showcase, recordings to review? I’m less interested in whether online can work in theory and more in what the course would actually need to include for you to choose it.
