About this event

Sundays 6- 9 PM
6 Weeks + Class Showcase
No Prerequisite

In this first level of Stand Up Class, students will work on discovering their own comedic sensibility and shaping that into a clear and unique point of view. While using material from their own lives, as well as observations from the world around them, each student will leave this level with an understanding of the basics of writing and performing stand up. The class culminates in a showcase where each comedian performs the material they created in class.

Courses are taught by veteran instructors who are long-time performers. Classes meet at The Westside or at one of our classroom spaces a block away.

Class sizes are limited. Enrollment is dependent upon availability. For enrolled students a confirmation welcome email will be sent 48 before the start of the first class. There are no refunds or transfers on tuition.

Frequently asked questions

Where is class located?

Because we are a working comedy theater with shows every night, most of our classes are not held on our stage. Our classes are located at our Creative Studios at Central Tower, just a short walk away. Class shows will take place at our theater.

Where should I park?

The easiest parking is at Parking Garage #5 (entrance on 4th street between Santa Monica & Broadway). Free for 90 min, then $2 for the next 30 min—just $2 for 2 hours! After that, it's $1.50 per half-hour. There is also some surrounding street parking that is free after 6PM on 5th street and east.

When is the class showcase?

Excluding holiday weekends, class showcase typically will fall on the weekend following your last class. You exact showcase date and time will be sent our your 2nd week of class.

Can I audit a class?

Sorry, we don’t allow outside visitors in class. Class is a space for people to push their boundaries, experiment, and sometimes fail. Having outside observers in class works against the safe creative atmosphere that we have worked hard to cultivate.
