Beginner Stand-Up Comedy Classes at PianoPiano Studios and St Marks Comedy Club

Tired of watching shows and wanna perform yourself? It's time to discover your comedic potential at the renowned NYC Comedy Class. This laughter-filled course offers a supportive environment where beginners can hone their stand-up comedy skills, boost their confidence, and master the art of public speaking. Join us and embark on a hilarious journey of self-expression, culminating in a memorable graduation show at St Marks Comedy Club.

What you'll learn in this stand up comedy class:

• Have you ever had friends and family tell you, “You’re hilarious! You should be a comedian!” – but you don’t know how to start?
• Do you want to improve your public speaking while laughing?
• Do you just wanna do something fun and creative after spending all day in a drab cubicle?

Welcome to your first step in stand-up comedy!

We offer a fun, positive and supportive stand-up comedy class for beginners to explore their sense of humor while growing confidence and improving public speaking skills.

Originally called “Caroline’s Comedy School” – we’ve been teaching comedy classes for over fifteen years and know how to turn you into the funniest version of yourself possible.

This is for six class sessions that each runs two-and-a-half-hours, plus a graduation show at St Marks Comedy Club in Manhattan, and a free video of your performance!

Over the course of six weeks, students will learn stage presence, delivery basics, joke types, and insight into the comedy business.

Our beginner class focuses on the basics of stand-up comedy writing and performing. We do not accept more than 12 students into each class, so be sure to register early!

Classes meet near Lincoln Center in Manhattan. After six sessions, there will be a comedy class graduation show. 

The show will be 90 minutes long, and will be held at St Marks Comedy Club at 12 St Marks Place.
