Beginner Stand-up Comedy Workshop

The Craft of Comedy

Greg Dean believes that your sense of humor is the one place where you are always right. Trust it. It’s yours. The question is, how can you learn to develop it so that you can, at will, make other people laugh. Better yet, how can you get them to cough up a bunch of cash to hear you.

As the author of Step By Step to Stand-Up Comedy, Greg Dean has taught Whoopi Goldberg and hundreds of other working comedians his joke writing and performance technique. Unlike many other teachers, Greg believes in educating you before putting you in front of an audience. This puts you in control. Greg purposefully avoids teaching his version of funny, (there are enough comedy clones already). Instead, he instructs you in the skills, principles, and techniques of stand-up comedy which you apply to your own style and sense of humor. Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Come and learn stand-up comedy for a lifetime.
