Are you over 60? Have you ever wanted to try stand-up comedy or even just wanted to improve your public speaking and confidence in front of an audience? Then our new introduction to stand-up comedy course is the perfect opportunity for you!
Over a six-week course consisting of five classes and a special performance night, you can learn the fundamentals of stand-up comedy. Our curriculum covers essential skills such as joke writing, developing your stage persona, honing your performance techniques, mastering improvisation, and discovering the humour in everyday situations. Whether your goal is to take the stage as a comedian or simply boost your confidence in presentations and public speaking, this course is designed to meet your needs.
The course begins next Tuesday, May 27th, and will run from 7 pm to 9 pm. It will continue for six weeks, with a break on June 24th, and conclude on July 8th. This course is open to everyone over 60, and we particularly encourage those in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s to join us.
The course will be led by Cian McGarrigle, the founder of Kilkenny Comedy Club, and will be held at the fully accessible Kilmoganny Community Hall. We even have options to adapt to ‘sit-down’ comedy if needed!
The entire course is available at the incredibly affordable price of just €30 per person, payable in cash on the first night. Please note that spaces are limited, so we encourage you to book your spot now through our website: www.kilkennycomedy.com

This course is proudly supported by the Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board.
