How to Write a Joke with Eddie Sarfaty, Starting July 10th

$450.00

This class is live, in person, taught in NYC.

Many comics start doing stand-up without any basic knowledge about how to actually write a joke. In addition, this class will explain the 11 basic joke types and how to write them.

Each week a new joke structure will be explained and dissected. Students will then practice the new jokes in class and get feedback from Eddie, their classmates, and the special guests.

All students will perform in a graduation show.

I’d never done standup but Eddie coached me into performing a set in just 2 weeks! He worked with me on improving the language and rhythm of my material, and most importantly, helped me find my voice as a comic. Performing my set at the Metropolitan Room on a packed Saturday night was not only an amazing way to end the class, it was the highlight of my year. Eddie’s the best.

Eddie’s standup class gave me the confidence I never knew I had. With his guidance, I learned what it takes to write great material. He works very hard to make sure you become the best comic you can be!

Despite years of acting in stage, the idea of performing standup comedy has always scared me. Eddie helped me understand the nature of the beast, honing jokes down to their essence (and talking me off the ledge as my performance date drew near!) A great learning experience!

Standing on a stage and making people laugh was not something I thought I had the balls to do until I took Eddie’s workshop. He gave me the basics, helped me shape my ideas and then allowed me to present them in a way that was effective (and if I do say so myself, rather funny). The greatest take away for me though was that the experience inspired me to write more, taught me how to self-edit, and I got to draw a line through another item on my bucket list.

Eddie’s class taught me some great comedic writing skills and valuable techniques. He inspired me to get up onstage and try it for myself. What a wonderful experience it was learning from him.

Eddie is so much fun to work with! I’ve taken his class numerous times and always, always, get a lot out of it. Eddie may be neurotic, but in a loving, wants-you-to-succeed way. He’s a master at helping you relate to the audience and he’s able to help streamline your material so it gets the most laughs. He critiques in a gentle, confidence-building way that the studnets respond to. I highly recommend his class.
