Take your comedy writing and performing technique to the next level with our Stand-Up Comedy Intensive Workshop, led by Clayton Fletcher, West Side Comedy Club's Talent Coordinator, a veteran of the NYC stand-up scene, and an international headliner. Clayton has been featured on Amazon Prime, Comedy Central, ESPN, MTV, Hulu, CBS Sports, MSNBC, Nick Mom, AXS-TV, and Sirius/XM Radio. He's performed on five continents, three oceans, two seas, and in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Stockholm Comedy Festival, the New York Comedy Festival, and the World Series of Comedy. He has taught over 2,500 comedians, many of whom are currently working professionals, and some are even household names!

This class will cover the various techniques of writing and performing stand-up, important dos and don'ts for all comedians, how to navigate getting passed at NYC comedy clubs, and a look at the business side of comedy, including agents, managers, bookers, and sharks to avoid. The class is Saturday afternoons 12:00PM-3:00PM beginning April 26th and culminating with a PERFORMANCE at West Side Comedy Club on May 18th at 7:00PM.

Zarna Garg, a regular at the Comedy Cellar, creator/star of the upcoming CBS sitcom Zarna, and a TikTok sensation with over 60 million views, notes, "Clayton is a very thoughtful comedy teacher and especially valuable in the performance aspects of comedy. His classes are very useful and anybody would be lucky to work with him."

Jen Kay, recently a finalist in the Stand-Up 360 Comedy Festival and now a regular in major clubs throughout Las Vegas, writes: "Clayton Fletcher is the Yoda of comedy, take his class you must. I learned so much in his course, that I am now able to notice the do's and don'ts while writing new jokes and while performing. Take an affordable class AND learn from one of the funniest comics out there, Clayton Fletcher."

Eddie Estrada, featured on Khloe Kardashian's Revenge Body, advises, "If you are at all interested in stand-up comedy, take this course with Clayton! I had a desire to begin doing stand-up but had no idea where or how to start. I found this class, and I am so incredibly lucky I did! This class doesn't only help you create a polished set, with diligent guidance from Clayton, but it also helps you learn about the industry. He teaches you the tools and information needed in the comedy business. With Clayton's honesty, support and guidance, anyone can leave this class and feel like they can pursue a career in stand-up. I cannot say enough incredible things about this course. Don't miss out!

Mark Larsen, a veteran comic who has taken virtually every comedy workshop offered in Manhattan, has this to say: "Clayton Fletcher is the best comedy teacher in New York City. His enthusiasm for the craft of comedy includes both lessons from past masters to examples from today's comedians. He truly enjoys teaching comedy, and that comes through with his finely tuned suggestions to improve specific jokes and materials, as well as offering perspective on your stage persona. After taking Clayton's comedy class, I had the best set of my life, and I know that is due to Clayton's teachings!"
