The most complete learning program for seasoned comedians

Why THIS PROGRAM?

Develop your best ever material and fine-tune your funny in just five weeks

You’ve been in open-mic long enough. You've nailed your first tight five. Now--with our most advanced program--it's time to hone your style, expand your repertoire, and drill deeper where so far you have only scratched the surface.

If you're wondering am I ready? book a call with the workshop leader and find out. And if you are ready for the next step--maybe even paid gigs and pro status--don't hesitate. Places are limited, so enrol now.

Zoom in to the next level of your comedy journey

Weekly Zoom workshops form the core of this program for seasoned open-mic acts who want to drive forward with their comedy ambitions. During the first four sessions, you'll share work in progress, bounce ideas off your fellow learners, and get instant feedback from Alfie Noakes, one of the most experienced comedy tutors in the business. Each week, you'll expand your personal brand of funny, and develop longer laughter-filled sets.

Discover a safe and effective learning environment

Workshop size is strictly limited to a maximum of eight similarly-experienced students. You can expect real community, as everyone shares ideas, laughter and encouragement on Zoom and, between sessions, in a private WhatsApp group. With years of experience as a comedy workshop leader, Alfie will ensure you are never left out or left behind.

Stay on track with pre-learning and accountability

From the moment you enrol, we help you turn your raw ideas into reliable gags. You get immediate access to our online starter course Stepping Forward In Stand-Up Comedy, then value-packed accountability emails ensure you hit the ground running in your first Zoom workshop.

Don't miss a minute with video replay

No worries if you unavoidably miss a group session. We record every Zoom workshop and you get three months access to these exclusive student-only recordings. Plus you keep lifetime access to Stepping Forward In Stand-Up Comedy after the Zoom workshops end.

Fine tune your set with 1-to-1 coaching

During the first four Zoom workshops, you will book a 75-minute 1-to-1 coaching session with Alfie Noakes. Here--with Alfie's personal attention and feedback--you will fine-tune your new set and prepare for your showcase performance.

Show off your new set and celebrate your achievement

Your fifth Zoom session is a showcase event, designed to bridge the gap between learning on Zoom and performing on stage. Here, you will perform your new set in full for the first time, to an audience of your fellow learners. Strap in for a fun-filled session, as you celebrate your achievement together.
