Nova Standup Comedy: Level 2

ABOUT THE CLASS
This is Level 2 of our standup class! All students in Level 2 have successfully completed Level 1 and were invited back for this special workshop-focused level of the class!

This will be diving more into the writing process, with more of an emphasis on running sets and material than the initial "learning" of the craft. You're on the bike, now let's ride it!

CLASS TIME FRAME - September 22nd through November 10th

STUDENT SHOWCASE
If the class is on board, there will be a show at the end of class for students to debut their new 7-10 minute sets. Location and Date TBD, will be scheduled during class per students' schedules.

ABOUT THE LOCATION(S)

This class will mostly be located at The Cambridge Foundry, in a room called The Black Multi Room. If you head in through the front of the Foundry, you'll see a staircase straight ahead. The Black Multi Room is right before that staircase, the first door on your right along that wall. If you need help, you can ask at the front table - The Foundry staff is ready to help! You can learn more about The Foundry here.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

David says he doesn't know what he's doing, but it's worked pretty well so far. Once described as "the greatest living comedic mind" by himself and "not the Wendy's guy" by Dan Mintz, David broke into the Boston standup scene by hosting a weekly show, Stand Up Break In, at The Riot Theater for 4 years. Honing his act of dry witticisms, self-musings and mostly stuff that's weird and stupid, David has opened for Tim Heidecker, Doug Lussenhop and Brent Weinbach of "Tim and Eric" from Adult Swim, hosted for Rory Scovel, performed in the Women In Comedy Festival, and produced The People's Show, ImprovBoston's longest-running weekly standup showcase. David has performed at theaters and colleges in New England, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. Taking inspiration from comedians such as Eugene Mirman, Tig Notaro and Demetri Martin, David approaches standup comedy the same way he thinks you oughta approach everything else: by being yourself.
