SUMMARY:Compèring Masterclass with Stephen Grant - BRIGHTON
DESCRIPTION:A one day\, intensive course focusing on the skills and discipl
 ine of stand up compèringStephen Grant brings his highly acclaimed one da
 y comedy masterclass workshops to the home of comedy in Brighton\; The For
 ge Comedy Club.For over 10 years Stephen has hosted classes across the UK 
 and abroad (Australia\, Singapore\, Dubai and Ireland) on specialist areas
  of performing\, with a unique workshop approach that allows it to be spec
 ialised to every comedian’s style\, even in a group environment.These ra
 re and always sold-out classes are designed for existing comedians of all 
 levels to finesse skills beyond those taught at standard multi-date comedy
  courses.While compèring is easily acknowledged as another branch of the 
 standup skillset\, there are specific requirements of this that must be fo
 cused on\, on top of those used in a standard standup performance. This on
 e day\, intensive course aims to cover all of those in a way that elevates
  compères of all levels. This workshop is aimed at existing standup come
 dians who want to hit the ground running with their compèring\, and exist
 ing compères who may find some areas of their skillset requires fine tuni
 ng or improvement. Areas covered includes the advantages of attaining this
  ability\, where it varies from straight standup\, compère responsibiliti
 es\, awareness of the 4th wall adjusting your act to environmental conside
 rations\, housekeeping\, mic technique\, styles of introduction\, being a 
 master of ceremonies\, timekeeping\, when to use material / interaction\, 
 the fundamentals of crowdwork\, how to frame your performance\, and some t
 ips and don’ts that will elevate all levels of performance. The course 
 will take a procedural approach and each attendee will be offered to ‘ho
 st a show’ so that feedback both common to all performers and specific t
 o the individual will be worked through in a group setting. Attendance of 
 Stephen's previous workshops is NOT required to attend this.Expected exper
 ience level: 6 months - 20 years (not suitable for those who have never pe
