Daniel Sloss once did this course, but our excellent tutor, comedian Jay Sodagar, didn’t dwell on that; rather Jay’s focus was on us, and getting a decent show out of an eager bunch of shivering newbies. I’ve performed Fringe comedy before – but not for a while – and we were coached through writing, editing and stage-craft in meticulous, highly effective detail. Audience connection was drummed into us, and we bonded quickly over the shared experience of being vulnerable in front of each other, acting out our ideas. This course is intense – it will take over your life for 48 hours – but finally we performed before a real Fringe audience with an international star as MC and it was scarily wonderful. Click Here For Review
