Youth Week Comedy Workshop - Tumut
Event description
Join us this Youth Week for a 3-hour comedy workshop with Anthony Lamond!
Develop your own style of stand up comedy, find your voice, and develop your first 5 minute set in a fun and supportive environment.
After 10 years as a professional stand-up comedian and having taught over 500 students in the last 3 years, Anthony Lamond will take you for a peep behind the curtain and share his knowledge on what it takes to become a stand up comedian.
His Comedy Workshop & Graduation Performance is not a competition to find the funniest comedian rather it's about helping and developing each individual to become more confident, have more self-belief and build better resilience.
In this three-hour workshop he will cover;
