website - Get Up On Stage - A Comedy Workshop for Beginners (with John Samaha & Suze Moxham)
‘Get Up On Stage’ allows anyone to be a stand-up comedian for a night. During the course, beginners work on their mic technique, comic persona & self confidence all while hanging out upstairs @ The Sando having a beer. The final class is a warm up for a performance night where you will have the chance to get up on stage and perform in a live stand-up show at The Sando in Newtown.
