WHY US? HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Rise Up Comedy hires only those that have innate wisdom to teach. We value teaching as a talent. A true teacher inspires the student to explore and follow their own innate wisdom, not mimic a celebrity. Our innovative method has students finding their own voice at lightening speed and surpassing years of comedy struggles.
Our teachers are also working professionals.
We offer classes online culminating into a performance.
We teach clean comedy and provide a safe space for people who know they are funny but unsure as to how to create that first comedy set.
We provide a safe teaching space free of prejudice and encourage those underrepresented in the comedy field (BIPoC, LGBTQ+, women and over 50) to claim their stage!
5 week class structure leading to performance.
Week One – WELCOME and Finding your funny – what/who are you?
Week Two – Getting your game on!
Week Three – Set creation and feedback
Week Four – Rhythm – the secret ingredient!
Week Five – Polishing it up
PERFORMANCE – Invite family and friends to laugh! The performance is integrated with working comedy pros and partial proceeds benefit the nonprofit.
