Take your next step on the comedy ladder
Learn how these roles can transform your stand-up
Director and Screenwriter
When you learn to think like a Director or a Screenwriter, you will start taking new creative leaps with your material. You'll start telling better stories, and structuring longer and better sets, with logical throughlines, full of the kind of emotional transformation that audiences love.
Director of Photography
When you learn to think like a Director of Photography, you'll pay more attention to what the audience sees on stage, and how what they see can earn you far more laughs than if you concentrate on words alone.
Propmaster; Hair and Makeup
When you learn to think like a Propmaster, or even enter the Hair and Makeup trailer, you'll start to use your visual appearance to powerfully reinforce your status and persona on stage, and earn yet more laughs from an appreciative audience.
Producer; Publicity and Marketing
When you learn to think like a Producer, or the head of Publicity and Marketing, you will be better placed to handle the business side of your career. In a world populated by agents and critics, wouldn't it be wonderful to approach it all with increased understanding and confidence?
Stand-up Comedian and Film-Maker
Of course, many stand-up comedians--like Mel Brooks, Bo Burnham, Amy Poehler and so on--have expanded their careers to work in film or television. So if you have ever imagined your work on screen, your new familiarity with the film-making process will help you realise that dream too.

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

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.
