Our 6-week course reviews topics including where to find material, joke structures, writing skills & stage presence, the basics of crafting a set, and how to be in the moment. The course concludes with a show at West Side Comedy Club, providing students the opportunity to perform their 5-minute set in front of a live audience.

Our instructors are all working comics themselves with credits to their name; they can speak directly to the industry as it is today.

“Taking Chanel’s class was so awesome! I’m a little more experienced in comedy and was still able to get awesome insights from Chanel.”
“Incredible. I’ve wanted to be a comedian forever and now I get to be, thanks to Chanel. I never would’ve worked up the nerve without her guidance. She made my comedy dreams come true and I will never be the same.”

About Chanel Ali:
Chanel is a standup comedian who blossomed on the Philadelphia circuit before taking her commanding stage presence to NYC. She has two Comedy Central specials, she was a Just For Laughs New Face, and she’s passed at most NYC comedy clubs.Testimonials about Chanel’s Teaching:
“As a big fan of standup comedy, I’ve always wanted to try it but felt insecure about my ability to do so, so having Chanel guide me along the way was extremely helpful. She is kind hearted, vulnerable & open about her own experiences, and, most importantly, knows the ins-and-outs of being hilarious in a way that is easy to understand. If you’re looking for a safe space to let yo freak flag fly and explore the hilarious person you think you are, you won’t find a better teacher or class in NYC”“Taking Chanel’s class was so awesome!
