WORKSHOP: "GRAB THE MIC!" A Two-Day Stand Up Comedy 101 Workshop with Stephanie Chan

  • 116 Bishan Street 12, #02 -34 116 Bishan Street 12 Singapore, 570116 Singapore (map)

Always wanted to try stand up comedy but too intimidated to start? Does the idea of dying onstage terrify you? Ever been to a comedy open mic and thought “I could do better than that”? Do you wish you could get a foot into the local comedy scene but it seems like too much of a straight boys’ club? Have you ever thought to yourself “if only there was a way for me to learn stand up comedy in an inclusive and welcoming environment”?

GRAB THE MIC is a comedy workshop for beginners. Over the course of two evenings, you'll learn the basics of stand-up comedy, from writing jokes and creating sets to getting over stage fright and telling jokes onstage. Whether your goal is to quit your job and land a Netflix special, get the confidence to start performing at open mics, or simply to just be a bit funnier and more confident at work/parties/family reunions/etc, this workshop can help you reach them while having an amazing time.

Graduates of the workshop can get spots on Siao Char Bors Comedy Night to showcase what they've learnt.
