Are you always the funniest one at the party? Have you written out jokes that you’ve been too afraid to try on stage? Are you depressed? Then you may be looking for this class.

Learn how to go from nothing to a performing a 5-min set live onstage from Stephanie Nam, comedian, producer, and not a white dude. Stephanie was inspired to teach this class because one too many white dudes asked her to teach them how to start comedy and she deserves to be paid for that labor.

– Graduation show: Thursday 4/28, 7pm
