Class Description

Description

Have you ever had friends and family tell you, “You’re hilarious! You should be a comedian!” – but you don’t know how to start?
Do you want to improve your public speaking while laughing?
Do you just wanna do something fun and creative after spending all day in a drab cubicle?

Welcome to your first step in stand-up comedy!

We offer a fun, positive and supportive stand-up comedy class for beginners to explore their sense of humor while growing confidence and improving public speaking skills.

Originally called “Caroline’s Comedy School” – we’ve been teaching comedy classes for over fifteen years and know how to turn you into the funniest version of yourself possible.

This is for six class sessions that each runs two-and-a-half-hours, plus a graduation show at St Marks Comedy Club in Manhattan, and a free video of your performance!

Over the course of six weeks, students will learn stage presence, delivery basics, joke types, and insight into the comedy business.

Our beginner class focuses on the basics of stand-up comedy writing and performing. We do not accept more than 12 students into each class, so be sure to register early!

Classes meet near Lincoln Center in Manhattan. After six sessions, there will be a comedy class graduation show.

The show will be 90 minutes long, and will be held at St Marks Comedy Club at 12 St Marks Place.

Refund Policy

** All sales are final. NYC Comedy Class does not offer refunds. **

You may request to exchange your tuition payment on a space-available basis for future classes of equal or lesser value, and while we will do our best to accommodate you, this is not guaranteed and not grounds for a refund.

All classes meet once a week for six weeks. There are no makeup classes. If you miss a class, that is one less class you can attend. You must attend at least 3 of the 6 classes to perform in the class show. Each class runs 2.5 hours unless otherwise stated. Classes may skip major holiday weekends. Please check each specific class’s date details or contact us with further questions.

If the instructor is unable to make a specific week of a class due to illness, career-advancing opportunities or other unexpected event, the class will either a) be taught virtually via Zoom for that week b) choose a new date to meet that same week or c) switch to 1-on-1 Zoom sessions consisting of 15 minutes each for that week at a time that is mutually agreed upon

You must be 18 or older to enroll in and attend the class.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

  • Beginner Stand-Up Comedy

    Joe P. • October 16, 2024
    Ben was a great coach and skilled with teaching how jokes are structured and executed. I would recommend this class to anyone who was told they should try stand-up. It’s more than just telling jokes, it’s the art of catching total strangers off guard. I had fun on show night; I was as cool as a cucumber, all thanks to Ben’s guidance.
