Winter Workshop: Intro to Stand-Up and Comedic Writing
Ever thought about giving stand-up comedy a try? Or wondered how to craft the perfect punchline? This winter, we’re excited to offer Intro to Stand-Up and Comedic Writing—a workshop designed to help veterans and their family members explore comedy, boost public speaking skills, and discover their comedic voice.
Workshop Details:
📅 Dates: February 20 & 27, March 6, 13, 20, and 27
⏰ Time: 18:30 - 21:30
📍 Location: Royal Canadian Legion 1/42, 243 Coxwell Ave, Toronto
This six-week workshop is perfect for anyone looking to try stand-up for the first time, refine their comedic writing abilities, or improve public speaking skills.
Who Can Join?
This workshop is open to veterans and their family members. No experience required—just a sense of humour and a willingness to learn!
About Your Host:
Meet Matt Carter—a regular on the roast battle scene and a graduate of The Second City Improv Program. Matt has honed his comedic skills touring across Ontario, earning laughs and perfecting the art of joke writing. His wit and humour are unmatched (even if his math skills are questionable)!
*Attendance is not compulsory, yet we strongly urge everyone to join as many sessions as feasible to foster teamwork and foster ensemble creation. In an open, safe, and inclusive atmosphere, we'll bond and explore our individual stories through humor. No prior performance, comedy, or clowning experience is needed, nor is there any pressure to be anything other than yourself. Come, enjoy, and embrace curiosity.
