The County Comedy Project
Are you the funny one at work or at home? Do you want to be? Join your friends, neighbours, and future family to try comedy, become funnier and more confident! Taught by Prince Edward County’s own comedy duo, Short Attention Spa.
Welcome to The County Comedy Project, an eight week comedy boot camp split into two modules where Prince Edward County’s own comedy duo Short Attention Spa guides a group through the process of working towards your first live comedy show. Lenny and Gavin will take you from first principles of form, writing and editing to final touches and stage prep.
Not only is this a great opportunity to hone comedy skills, but it’s also a supportive and welcoming environment to work on social anxiety, public speaking, and just generally being funnier in life.
Module One
Comedy Writing: Sketch and Stand-up Comedy
Sundays 6:30-8:30pm – April 28 – May 19
The first segment of the County Comedy Project will focus on written comedy.
Sketch Comedy – Do you want to write comedy sketches and bits? Your silly ideas will journey from page to stage as you unpack the comedy devices that can take your written scenes to a hilarious level!
Stand-up Comedy – From setups to punchlines, the premise is primary. Learn to craft jokes that are true to your own point of view and your life experiences.
Module Two
Improvisation
Sundays 6:30-8:30pm – May 26 – June 9
The second segment will focus on the hilarious fun of improvised comedy. Create spontaneous scenes that are funny & fascinating. Learn tools to step out on stage with just one suggestion and create a whole show.
Show Prep
June 16
At the end of the process, members of both modules will be able to participate in a showcase show, highlighting the comedy works developed!
