You view videotapes of professional comics, such as Eddie Izzard, Sandra Bernhardt, and George Carlin. Local comic monologists also perform their routines for the class, and reveal their creative process and vision. Opportunities in the Bay Area comedy scene are discussed. The last class meeting is a public performance of your short comic routine to an invited audience. In addition to actors and writers, this class may be of interest to anyone who wants to employ comic skills in public-speaking situations.
