Have you ever wondered if you could make a room full of people laugh?
Now’s your chance.
The Comedy Trust is inviting a group of brave business professionals from across Liverpool to take part in a unique fundraising challenge. Over four fun and supportive workshops, you’ll learn the secrets of stand-up comedy before stepping onto the stage at the iconic Hot Water Comedy Club to perform your very own five-minute routine to a friendly audience.
No experience is necessary. Just a willingness to challenge yourself, have a laugh and raise money for a fantastic cause.
YOUR COMEDY COACH
The course will be led by Liverpool comedian, author and speaker Sam Avery, who has performed thousands of stand-up shows across the UK, appeared on TV and radio, and helped countless people discover the confidence to perform in front of an audience.
Sam will guide you through every step of the process, helping you turn your stories, experiences and personality into comedy you’ll be proud to perform.
