How to Comedy Classes
Invest in yourself in 2024. If stand-up comedy is something you’ve always dreamed of or want to do better, Louisville Laughs has classes to help you get going in the right direction.
The Comedy Writing class is geared toward newer comics and will help you find or refine material. This class is perfect before your first time on stage or the 100th time.
The Comedy Emceeing/Hosting class will help you learn the techniques to be a good host and be more comfortable on stage overall. Good hosts are always in demand.
Instructors Keith McGill and Bret Sohl have decades of experience teaching comedy. Classes are $75 each or both for $125.
Sunday, Jan. 21, 7 p.m.
Joke-Off!
TEN20 Craft Brewery, Butchertown
Join us Jan. 21 for Joke-Off! Twenty-four comics will go head-to-head telling their best jokes.
A panel of judges, with help from the audience, will decide which joke is better until only one winner is left.
This is always a fun show. Plus, enjoy great craft beer from TEN20 and delicious food from MozzaPi and Happy Belly Bistro.
Tickets are $10.
