TweetThe role MC/host/compere of a comedy show (or any public event) is vital in making it a success and whilst good MCing can set things up nicely, bad MCing can derail even the strongest of line ups…
Discuss and learn all about the role of the comedy compere and the skills required to succeed in that important role at any show, from open mics to weekend comedy clubs.
Facilitated by Phil Cooper and Drew Taylor who have a combined 25 years and over 2000 gigs worth of experience of compering comedy nights between them.
Here’s what people say about previous comedy courses taught by Drew:
“I found Drew an exceptional teacher & putting me at ease when I was starting something as daunting as comedy. Drew has a relaxed approach & is a fountain of knowledge. Drew offered expert insight into crafting & refining jokes. Highly recommend!” - Matthew D
“I cannot recommend Drew highly enough. He took a shy, retiring, and less than funny individual and gave me the tools to perform comedy in front of over 100 people and actually get a laugh. He was engaging, insightful and so helpful with his vast experience… Add to that a really nice bloke you can’t go wrong!” - Stephen K
“I really appreciated the mentoring and support I got from Drew.
My first time practising as a stand-up and what I really valued was his encouragement and confidence building combined with really handy techniques.
Helpful with all the basics of stand-up comedy and some handy little tricks as well to keep the crowd perky!” - Lawrence W
