Did you know more people are afraid of public speaking than spiders, heights and, um... death? And yet some people choose to do it for a living! Are you someone who has always harboured a secret urge to be one of them?
Whether you have a burning desire to be the next Michael McIntyre/Katherine Ryan/Victoria Wood/Billy Connolly, or have simply always wanted to have a go at making people laugh, help is at hand. Join one of the country's top stand-up comedians (and Hertford resident) Alistair Barrie for a six week course at BEAM Hertford, honing your comedy skills. Six weekly workshops will give you practical assistance in conceiving, writing and performing stand-up comedy, as well as insights into the profession and expert advice on how to navigate the industry itself. There will be homework! There will also be a masterclass from a top British comedian, and the course will culminate in a public showcase performance at BEAM Hertford itself.
So - if you're the jester at work, or down the pub, the quiet one who notices funny things people don't, David Brent trying to escape The Office or simply someone with an itch to scratch, look no further. If you want to gloss over your glossophobia, come and shine some light on your inner comedian with BEAM Hertford!
