SUMMARY:Beginner's stand up comedy course
LOCATION:The Bill Murray
DESCRIPTION:Our beginner’s stand up course is for people who have never d
 one stand up comedy\, as well as people with a little bit of experience wh
 o want to sharpen up their act. These classes will cover the very basics o
 f stand up\, from learning how to write a “pull back and reveal” joke 
 to applying for gigs on the London circuit. The course culminates in your 
 own gig at Angel Comedy!\n\nThis is a 5 week course\, running on Saturdays
  from the 24th of October to the 21st of November. The course includes a f
 inal showcase at The Bill Murray in Islington in addition to the five clas
 s dates.\n\nThis is week 1 of the course\n\n**About the tutor:**\n\nNick E

 l Comedy and other clubs in London and the South-East.\n\nShortlisted thre

  New Act of the Year\; and Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year.\n\nNick
  has been taking stand-up comedy shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival si
 nce 2012\, garnering great reviews - particularly for 2019's Big Nick Ener
 gy\, with praise focusing on his 'savvy writing' (Chortle) and 'cracking g
 ood jokes' (Three Weeks). He also works privately on show development and 
 joke-writing with other acts.\n\n**Testimonials**\n\n“Nick was great. In
 credibly knowledgeable\, personable and of course funny. I thought his fee
 dback was incredibly useful and constructive and his teaching technique in
 clusive and practical. A great guy.”\n\n“Nick was amazing! He helped m
 e with writing\, mic work\, stage presence\, and was super supportive and 
 fkn funny throughout the class. Nick knew exactly how to punch up my jokes
  to make them shine and working with him I put together a really nice 5-mi
 nute set!! Nick pushed me to reach out to a bunch of gigs and now I have 1
 5 gigs lined up for the next month!”\n\n“Absolute legend\, great feedb
 ack\, support and guidance - like our very own comedy dad”\n\n“Informe
 d\, informative\, encouraging\, calm and funny. Also tolerant of all our d
 ifferent personalities and styles.”\n\n"Nick was funny\, helpful\, chill
  and brought a calm and friendly vibe to class. He was able to support eve
 ryone in their own style and was a pleasure to have in class."\n\n"Nick is
  a lovely guy\, very friendly and really helps to nurture a great environm
 ent during the course. He also has a real knack at understanding joke stru
 cture and offering incredibly helpful feedback on how to make your own wri
 ting stronger and funnier"\n\n"Nick was a great teacher\; it's obvious he'
 s technically brilliant in all things comedy and gives off a really good\,
  calm energy. He's honest\, direct but always kind about it which is what 
 you need if you're trying to learn comedy."\n\n"Nick was excellent at putt
 ing everyone at ease. He creates a safe and relaxed environment where ever
 yone felt free to be themselves and to try things out."\n\n"Nick was such 
 a great tutor\, I believe he was key in fostering a nice\, fun and engagin
 g atmosphere in class. This bonded us even more and resulted in genuine lo
 ng laughs\, with everyone being invested and providing feedback to others
 \, engaging even beyond and outside class. His practical examples in how s
 omething can be a joke were a great inspiration for writing and elaboratin
 g material. His tips were great and super effective\, from how to handle t
 he stage and stage fright\, to holding the microphone! Somehow everything 
 made sense when he was saying them."\n\n"Nick's course was so much fun and
  so insightful. Joining the course is honestly one of the best things I've
  ever done. Whether you want to get in to stand up comedy and need a good 
 place to start\, or just want to challenge yourself\, Nick's course is 100
 % the best place to do this. He's an amazing teacher and he made the class
 es such a lovely\, fun and supportive space for us all. I cannot recommend
