Intro to Standup Comedy with Matt Baetz (Zoom)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Tired of binge watching comedians on Netflix and wondering if you could ever do it? Want to be more confident in your presentations or entertaining in your storytelling? Come get a taste of standup in this free workshop! We’ll help you shake off the pandemic blues and start a practice of looking at the world with a sense of humor.

This free 45 minute workshop is for complete beginners who are willing to learn about what goes into crafting a standup routine and want to give it a try. You don’t have to be ‘funny’ or even aspire to be a comedian, you just need a desire to tell stories and an appreciation for good humor.

For those who want to continue on, we’ll also answer questions about an upcoming 4 week standup course.
