Details : Want to work on building your comedy toolbox? Are you looking for meaningful feedback on your material? Or are you interested in getting your start as a standup comic but unsure where to start? Join us for a Four-Week Standup Intensive with Clayton Fletcher! 

Our 4-week course reviews topics including writing skills & stage presence, joke structures, where to find material, and the basics of crafting a set. The course will conclude with a show at West Side Comedy Club, allowing students to perform their 5-minute set in front of a live audience. Please note: Final Performances are recorded and subject to be used on our social media platforms. 

Our instructors are all working comics themselves with credits to their name; they can speak directly to the industry as it is today. Clayton Fletcher is one of the Co-Founders of FUNY Standup, in additon to being a NY-based comic with a special, Middle Child Syndrome. Clayton is also the co-author of The ROI of LOL (p. HarperCollins) where he shares what comedians know that business people should know!

Other credits include: “The Ivy League of Comedy Live from the Emelin Theatre” on Amazon Prime, ‘Best of the Fest’ at the Stockholm Comedy Festival, Sirius/XM’s Laugh USA, Blue Collar Comedy, and Jamie Foxx’s Foxxhole stations. Clayton is also featured on Hulu’s “Comedy Brew,” AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live“, MSNBC’s “Your Business,” Fox’s “Fox News Saturday Night,” hosted by Kennedy, and Comcast’s “Who’s Laughing Now?”
