Compering Course 2006
There are no plans at present to repeat this course.About the course
The sessions will be led by LUCY PORTER, MARTIN DAVIS and JOHN RYAN who all have different styles and approaches, and are very much in demand as a comperes and stand-ups across the country and abroad. Their expertise and experience is huge in clubs and theatres, comedy festivals worldwide, and hosting corporate events too. They've all been on telly too of course.
This thorough practical and theoretical series of seminars will include preparation, room/audience management, delivering what promoters expect, and adapting your stand-up stylt to the role of compere.
Four sessions led by three highly respected but very different comperes, which is specifically for gigging comedians who wish to develop this valuable skill which involves getting the audience on side, and will increase your spontaneity too.
Compering ability can increase work opportunities and open the door to performing in some clubs which would otherwise not be possible for some while. Compering skill is important for the well paid "warm-up" in television too. So follow the example of virtually every currently successful comedian - they have all followed the compering route during their career.
