Comedy Workshop
Sponsored by The Thornton Group
Run by Comedy Cottage
A rare chance to learn some tricks of the trade from award winning comedy experts, for those who fancy trying their hand at stand-up, or anyone just wanting to improve their public speaking or work presentations – all while having a fun day learning in the beautiful grounds of Reigate Priory Football Club.
The day will culminate with participants performing a showcase of what they've learnt during the workshop. You're encouraged to invite family and friends to come and watch and support you, while you try out newly written jokes, anecdotes and funny stories (with punchlines). You'll hopefully feel more confident and empowered in your new-found skills and more willing to do something out of your comfort zone!
This special one-day workshop will teach participants how to structure stories, deliver presentations (with humour) and find their own funny.
WARNING: Laughter reduces anxiety and stress by releasing endorphins (our body's natural pain killer), dopamine (which makes us happy), serotonin (mother nature's antidepressant) and oxytocin (the love hormone).
Workshop time: 10-4pm with an hour lunch/reflecting and writing period. Tea/coffee/biscuits will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.
Showcase for friends and family: 7-9.30pm
Age 15 years+
Places are extremely limited, booking essential.
