Cancelled due to low registration.

Stand Up for Mental Health Comedy is a short course in comedy/joke writing, routine synthesis and sketch delivery intended for the layfolk who would like to be more self-confident or perhaps even more humorous, and/or for those in the work world, who desire more flair in their oral presentations, and/or for school teachers wishing to improve their “stand and deliver” prowess.  The Course will consist of eight, 2-hour classroom sessions where class members will be introduced to the art/science of stand-up comedy and the written and unwritten rules that give it life, plus ample time to compose their own jokes leading to a 5-7-minute stand-up routine.  There will also be a final practical evening session where class members will each deliver that routine to a live audience at a club venue in Saskatoon.
