Truth, But Make it Funny: Giving Your Narrative a Comedian’s Ear & a Performer’s Heart
A Masterclass with Nebulous Niang
In this masterclass, internationally-touring stand-up comedian Nebulous Niang translates the creative survival skills of the stage into practical editing tools for the page.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the local and international stand-up landscape. Explore how performers such as Steph Dogfoot, Sam See, Sharul Channa and Rishi Budhrani have used vulnerability as a tool to further their practice and connection with their audiences.
Whether you are working through a first line or refining a full draft, this workshop offers a unique lens on making your written voice feel deeply human, accessible, and alive. Drawing from Niang’s experiences of growing up and coming out in Singapore, this class invites participants to reach into their own unique experiences, learning to meld comedy, wit and vulnerability towards developing a writing project.
