There are a few seats left for people who have been told they are funny and want to hone their skills with some professional training and enroll in comedienne Christine O’Leary’s Comedy Writing. The workshop starts Monday, March 3, and runs through April 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. for eight consecutive weeks at the Ridgefield Playhouse.
Ms. O’Leary will teach stand-up comedy writing and guarantees that “all students will be funny, with no risk of not being laughed at.” Students will learn the fundamentals of comedy writing and performance.
Ms. O’Leary is a social worker, project manager, social media editor, and award-winning professional comedienne.
The workshop culminates with a “graduation” show on the stage of the Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, May 4. The workshop is part of Hamlet Hub’s A Whole New You series.
