From the first line to a live set
Created and ran comedy bootcamps in partnership with award-winning comedian Joe Bor.
1 Line Wonders (Comedy Challenge)
A one-session taster: complete beginners learn to write original one-liners, workshop them in small groups, then perform live on stage.
5 Minute Wonders
A multi-week programme taking novices from zero material to a confident five-minute stand-up set, building material and stagecraft week by week, ending in a live showcase.
Here's my own five-minute set, from 11 June 2014. Watch it on YouTube.
I think 5 Minute Wonders was productive, welcoming, collaborative and inspiring! I bet that doesn’t happen too much on the comedy circuit!!

The same teach-through-practice pattern runs through Stride, just in a different medium: a method, fast feedback and reps until it sticks.
