Why this course?

Take your next step on the comedy ladder

If you are going to move on from five-minute spots and familiar gigs, you need to shake things up. That's why, in Stepping Forward In Stand-Up Comedy, you will expand your comedy mindset and step into the shoes of a film-maker, key crew members and even entire movie production departments. Just click the plus signs to learn how this new approach can transform your stand-up.

If film-making on a stand-up course sounds weird, remember: the goal is to help you shake things up. Because what got you here won't get you there. 

Rest assured: the film-making process is robust and time tested. It's sufficiently different from your current practice to break you out of any kind of creative rut. And it's a process you can apply not just to your next set, but to your whole comedy career.

Learn how these roles can transform your stand-up

Invaluable... This course brought my motivation back... Informative, easy to understand, and reinforced by excellent examples.

I started with a course, which was amazing... then moved on to 1-to-1 coaching. We went through my stand-up routines in a forensic fashion, yet had such lot of fun on the way.

Really pushed me to think about my set in a different way... I was in a bit of a lull so I found it helped me a lot... Well worth the money.

Can I buy the course only?

If you just don't want coaching...

Not everyone wants to buy coaching at this stage. You might prefer to advance one step at a time, and there's nothing wrong with that.

If that's you, we continue to offer Stepping Forward In Stand-Up Comedy as a standalone course, no coaching included. Just head over to the course page to buy the course only.

If you're trying to keep costs down...

If you decided against coaching just to keep costs down, we get it. Times are tough. If you are still undecided--and you don't want to miss the big saving on buying course and coaching together--you could consider paying for course + coaching by instalments. But we don't want you to spend more than you can afford right now.

If you go ahead with the course-only option, we promise you will get a ton of value and we'll keep you informed if we ever offer discounts on coaching in future.
