Explore the many sides of comedy in this fun, hands-on workshop!

We’ll dive into the different styles of humor—from the quick wit of stand-up, to the spontaneity of improv, to the craft of writing funny material.

You’ll discover how comedy can be a powerful tool for expression, connection, and even confidence-building. Through interactive exercises, group activities, and plenty of laughter, you’ll learn by doing—because the best way to understand comedy is to try it out yourself. Whether or not you think you’re “naturally funny” doesn’t matter—there’s humor to be found in everyday situations, and this class will help you uncover it and share it in your own voice.

Perfect for beginners who are curious about trying comedy for the first time, or returning students ready to sharpen their skills and take their comedy to the next level.

Instructor: Comedian Brian Maggi
