Event Description
Scared of stand-up comedy? Never fear. It’s just another form of storytelling! In this workshop, we will learn the basics of stand-up comedy writing, giving special attention to the ways stand-up can be a tool for activism and awareness around pertinent social issues. Participants will gain an understanding of thoughtful comedy writing, what not to do in stand-up, and how to intentionally engage audience members. We will also think through stand-up comedy’s capacity for wellness and processing, how the connection between audience members and comics creates a space for social-emotional learning. Join us for an afternoon of laughter in which you’ll be able to draft the beginnings of both observational and anecdotal jokes! Participants will have the opportunity to write jokes either for themselves or for Teaching Artist and stand up comedian Annabel Young. Don't miss this opportunity to learn that stand-up is a medium for everyone—a medium with multiple benefits and applications that has the power to change the world...one joke at a time. Teaching Artist: Annabel Young
