“You can’t teach someone to be funny, you either have it or you don’t!
Yet you can help funny people thrive.”
-comedian/producer/writer Eddie Brill
In addition to being an internationally touring comic for forty years, and a frequent host of corporate events, Eddie was the Talent Coordinator for the "Late Show with David Letterman and former creative director/architect of the Great American Comedy Festival.
Eddie has also been interviewing the comedy stars for the American Comedy Archives, and producing stand-up comedy specials for major platforms.
He has been running a one-of-a-kind workshop around the world since 1998. Eddie facilitates an honest and intense feedback session which highlights the key elements towards gaining the insight and understanding necessary in developing and retooling your work. Both verbally and most importantly, non-verbally.
The strength of this kind of workshop is how we learn so much about ourselves from the feedback we share and hearing the perceptions of others.
For the first time, Eddie will be running a “comedy camp.”
An intensive two-day weekend of workshopping and a show a week later with an audience.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience is reserved for those with stage experience and the yearning to be the best at what we do.
