SENSE OF HUMOUR: COMEDY FOR ACTORS
Does comedy feel like a bit of a mystery? Being funny on cue can feel intimidating, and many of us think we either have it or we don’t. Think again!
Sense of Humour is a scene study class for actors looking to enhance their understanding of comedy writing and performance. Looking at monologues and scenes from classics, contemporaries and the world of sketch comedy, we work as a group to pick apart what makes comedy tick; from Shakespeare to Fleabag via the Edinburgh Fringe.
