The Advanced Stand up Comedy Course
This course is rolled out once a year and runs on consecutive weekdays for five weeks from 7pm to 9pm. The Advanced Stand up course is for people who have already completed the beginner’s course with BCC or who have experience of working on the comedy circuit and are serious about comedy.
There is regular support and guidance throughout the course, including practical exercises and tips on how to edit existing material and brainstorm new material. There is also the option of writing a whole new set from scratch. Students will work individually and as a team to build a polished comedy set.
There will be gig analysis for those working on the circuit, what worked, what didn’t and why. How can we improve our sets? We will look at more complicated joke techniques and aim to incorporate them into our material. There is also a master class on compering, and running your own gig.
There will be advice on how to market yourself and a list of contacts to secure future gigs on the comedy circuit in Brighton, London and further afield. At the end of the course there will be the opportunity to relive the graduation gig with the showcase performance. As in the beginner’s week course, writing material for homework is a must.
Standard £180

“This was a really worthwhile course. There were a lot of practical writing exercises which were great for trying out the new techniques and styles that we learned about. We were always challenged to stretch ourselves and be brave, but the atmosphere was always friendly and comfortable, which really encouraged us to just write on instinct and not be afraid of making mistakes. I picked up some really useful tips along the way, and since the course finished I’ve even had two of my homework pieces accepted for publication in online literary journals. A great course for building confidence and improving your skills!” Tom Marcantonio 2017
