Beginning Stand-up Comedy Class

Have you ever seen a comedian perform and thought, “I can do that!”? Have your friends ever told you that you were hilarious and you should try stand-up comedy? Or do you just love making people laugh and want to give stand-up comedy a try? Robert Berry’s Stand-Up 101 classes will give you the skills, practice, feedback, and motivation to perform a five-minute comedy set.

Robert is a stand-up comedian that regularly works at Punch Line Sacramento and San Francisco, Cobb’s Comedy Club, The Throckmorton Theatre, dive bars, and casinos too numerous to mention, and of course, the amazing Sacramento Comedy Spot. Robert is one of the go-to comedy hosts in the area and has been a paid opener for such acts as Neil Hamburger, Emo Phillips, Will Durst, and Bob Rubin, to name a few. Robert brings over six years of stand-up experience and over 25 years of comedy performance and hosting skills to Comedy Spot’s stand-up program. He’s released two comedy CDs and has published a well-reviewed book, Robert Berry’s Big Book of Jokes! Whatever type of humor you’d like to perform, be it storytelling, dark humor, silly jokes, topical, political, autobiographical, or just inexplicable alternative comedy, Robert is a fan of it all and can help you find your voice and gain the skills you need to join the exciting world of stand-up comedy!

This class and instructional environment encourages constructive feedback, sharing, time-tested lessons and tips, and you’ll have a lot of fun in the process. The time flies right by with each of these four two-hour sessions. You will gain the skills you need to perform a five-minute comedy set at an actual open mic graduation show at the Comedy Spot and learn how to continue performing at the various venues in the area once you’re done!
