An interactive workshop to help you find your comedic voice and be a hero to the 15 year-old you.

This is an interactive class for people just getting started as a writer or performer as well as those looking for new ways to approach their own writing and performing. Whether you are interested in writing a book, doing stand up comedy, writing a script, or maybe just whipping up some totally sweet memes, I will share with you my own tips and habits for finding your comedic voice, growing as a writer and performer, and achieving some of your comedy goals. I will also share with you a few tips and habits I have learned or simply stolen directly from really famous people who are way more successful than I am.
