All Women Comedy Class with Jocelyn Chia 

In this all women stand-up comedy class, you will find and express your voice, turning it into lethal words that kill - an audience. Taught by Jocelyn Chia, an international touring comedian and a regular at New York City comedy clubs including Gotham Comedy Club, Caroline's, New York Comedy Club, Standup NY, & Broadway Comedy Club.

This class is designed for both beginner and intermediate comics. In this class, you will learn how to transform your anger, fears and life experiences (that parent who favored your sibling over you, that boyfriend or girlfriend who broke your heart and your microwave, the barista who always short changes you an inch on your coffee) into standup comedy material. You will also learn performance techniques to boost your confidence and delivery on stage, and develop a network of fellow female comedians who support one another. In addition to getting a refresher on the basics, more experienced comedians will also be given individualized feedback on their material to take their act to the next level.
