Stand Up Comedy Class with Calise Hawkins

Stand-Up Comedy Class: 6 Weeks to Your First 5-Minute Set Have you always wanted to try stand-up? Let’s get you onstage. Whether this is your first time holding a mic or you’re ready to sharpen your material, this six-week, in-person class will help you turn your real life into a strong, authentic five-minute stand-up routine. This class is limited to only 10 students to make sure everyone gets high-quality, personalized feedback and real attention each week. You’ll work closely with Calise Hawkins, a professional working comedian and WGA (writer's guild) writer, who will help you develop your point of view, shape your stories into jokes, and build a set that feels true to you. Past students describe Calise’s notes as clear, funny, specific, and genuinely helpful. She offers the kind of feedback that actually moves your work forward. This first class cycle is being offered at a special introductory rate of $299. For a six-week NYC comedy class taught by a working NYC comedian and WGA writer, plus a professionally taped showcase, this is an incredible value. Calise’s credits include writing on That Damn Michael Che on HBO, Everything’s Trash on Hulu, @midnight on Comedy Central, Aisha Tyler’s Unapologetic on AMC, Disney’s Just Roll With It and Walk The Prank, and MTV’s Girl Code. Her standup has appeared on Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, Russell Simmons Presents, Oxygen’s Funny Girls, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The program concludes with a showcase at Broadway Comedy Club, where each student performs their five-minute set and receives a free professional tape of their performance. And your showcase won’t just be a class recital. It will close with a professional headliner, so your friends and family get to watch you perform on a real NYC comedy show.
