Comedy Course

Limited spaces! Book early to avoid disappointment!

Join us at Crack Comedy for our signature Stand-Up Comedy Course - a practical approach to stand-up comedy.

There isn’t one type of comedy out there, but there is only one way to do stand-up comedy - and that is to stand up and do it!

In this six-week program, we cover the basics of the craft of stand-up comedy. The course is taught by British-based American comic Erich McElroy and at Crack Comedy in Kingston; Kingston’s longest running comedy club.

Taught at Ram Jam Records, an intimate, 60 seater venue which is the perfect intimate space for what might be your first ever gig. 

​

The course is appropriate for those brand new to comedy and who want to give it a try, as well as for newer performers who want to gain more confidence, sharpen their performance and learn more about the business of stand-up comedy. 

How it is structured

The program is five weeks of classes with a final sixth week of a live performance. Each session you will get a chance to get on stage - initially with fellow classmates and then with a showcase. 

By the end of the course you will have honed in on your material, style, execution, and delivery so that you have the confidence to nail a performance with ease. You will have identified your areas of natural talent, and you will leave with your imagination and creativity in high gear ready to take on any audience. 

​

Each course is limited to only twelve participants.
