Comedy Courses
We're planning to run a comedy course in the Autumn of 2008 at the Capitol, Horsham

She was part of the ‘Screaming Blue Murder’ tour at the Edinburgh Festival in 2000 and has performed comedy as far afield as Dubai, Amsterdam, Greece and Paris. Her writing credits include The Treatment (Radio 5) , The 11 O’clock show (Channel 4) and the Brian Hayes show (LBC)
Topics covered will include
- Developing performance skills

- Opening lines
- Finding your stage persona
- Writing jokes
- Getting gigs on the comedy circuit
The course will help you to build your confidence in
- Using the microphone

Sally will give everyone the maximum stage time within the workshop to develop their skills and confidence, so that at the end of the course they can, if they wish,show off their new found talents in showcase show.
The cost of the complete course is £125 (£100 concessions - over 60’s, NUS and unemployed).
