LOL 201: Stand-Up Comedy Class at Wit's End

Ready to take your comedy to the next level? Wit’s End Comedy Club is launching LOL 201, our very first stand-up class! Starting October 1st, this 5-week course meets every Wednesday from 5:30–7:00pm and wraps up with a live student showcase in November.

Led by seasoned comics Shawna Jarrett and Josh Bates, the class covers everything you need to shine on stage, including:

• The structure of joke writing

• Hosting skills and crowd work

• The business of comedy

• Professional headshots & a video of your “tight 5”

• A night to perform at Wit’s End!

This class is open to all comedians and improv performers (age 18 or older), but is especially designed for those who’ve tried an open mic and are ready to polish their game.

Tuition: $350 (Email us for scholarship opportunities)

**Space is limited to 12 students**

Shawna Jarrett has been a staple of Charleston comedy for over a decade - performing locally at Charleston Music Hall, The Music Farm, Theater 99, and of course Wit's End - as well as touring all over. The Get Up!, her monthly writer's workshop and open mic, has been a resource for comics of all skill levels throughout that time, and she taught an Intro to Stand-up Comedy course as a high school elective for many years.

Shawna loves seeing new comics of all ages and backgrounds succeed, whatever their goals are with stand-up comedy. A short-term bucket list item, a long-term goal to perform professionally - you truly never know until you give it your best shot.
