NEW: Outlining your Gig!

I have NEVER DONE COMEDY or are NEW TO COMEDY - Is this for me?

Yes! We will address both basics 101, and go into details for the more experienced folks.

If you are a beginner or intermediate stand up comedian, this course is for you! Or if you work in corporate and simply want new skills that translate to any public speaking role - or simply being more comfortable at parties - this is for you!

Student Reviews!

"If you find yourself watching skilled crowd workers and hosts, wondering what it takes to be one – because I wanna be one – this class is for you."

"The course was excellent. Tera created a warm, supportive atmosphere whilst throwing you into the deep end, She herself is a remarkably humble teacher...talented but makes it look so effortless. Very happy with the course."

"It's great for bringing out what you have inside and building confidence."

"Tera provides valuable tips, addresses fundamental questions, and guides you through the process to break your crowd work ice."

"If you want to get closer to your authentic host-soul: book this class."

"It was also a great space to share questions about situations that can arise or have arisen while doing crowdwork or while performing in general, good and bad, and it was very useful to get the point of view of a professional like Tera, who has so much experience."

After our 2023 -2024 Courses, many students are already hosting their own shows

Students who perform in English, German, Russian and Spanish -- all found the course useful!

I am ALREADY HOSTING - Will I learn anything?

Yes! Tera has 25 years stage experience and a Bachelors degree in Performance. Her first paying stage gig was in 2001. Even with all that experience, as recent as 2018, Tera was taking a 3 week improvisation course with a European master improviser and writing workshops. Being a good improviser does not just „happen“ naturally, it is a skill! Like any skill, you train for it!

What if I have to miss one day ?

Yes, that is fine! While I cannot change the costs, If you do miss one class - you are welcome to take a future class, free of charge, to make up for it.

HOW much does it COST?

The cost of the Workshop will be:

125 € Regular
90 € Unemployed or Student

NOTE: There is a 5€ Book my Spot Fee that ensures your spot! You pay the BALANCE after registration. This is DEDUCTED from the total fee - this is NOT an extra fee.

Will this pay off?

Dude. You will make this entire course fee back in ONE good show you Host! If you get good, corporate rates for comedy are 8x this fee.

WHY does it cost money?

Art is a skill. Even with 25 years stage experience, I still pay for workshops. Workshops take hours of time: set up, planning, preparation, and years of experience. Therefore that time is worth money. There are no refunds on course fees, but if you cannot attend a session for any reason, you are welcome to take an upcoming class OR attend Tera´s comedy shows, for FREE to make up the difference you paid for ;)

Can I get an invoice for this workshop?

Of course! But you must do a bank transfer before the first session! Please email Tera for details!

Do you offer this workshop for specialty groups (corporate, students)?

Yes, but this would be a separate workshop we would arrange together. Email me!

QUESTIONS?

Absolutely! Please email Tera at: terakilbride@gmail.com
