Learn to Write & Perform Stand-Up Comedy is a supportive course designed for people who want to try comedy, build confidence or challenge themselves creatively.

Delivered by Gags for Good CIC, the course combines practical comedy skills with confidence-building techniques in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

You’ll learn how to:

• find your comedic voice
• turn everyday experiences into jokes
• structure a stand-up set
• handle nerves and stage fright
• perform in front of an audience (at your own pace)

No pressure. No gatekeeping. Just encouragement, laughter and support.

WHO IT’S FOR

This course is ideal if you:

• have never performed before
• feel nervous speaking in front of others
• want to build confidence or self-esteem
• love comedy and want to try it yourself
• are returning to creativity after a break

You do not need to be “naturally funny”, that’s literally what the course is for.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Small, supportive group
• Inclusive and respectful environment
• Practical exercises (nothing embarrassing or forced)
• Clear guidance from experienced comedians
• Optional performance — watching is OK too

You’re always in control of how much you take part.
