Keighley Healthy Living

Intro to comedy workshops

with Alex Dunlop

Attendees learnt joke writing, performance skills and more at a series of workshops.

BFD comedy ran an 8-week course in Keighley, which was perfect for beginners looking to learn the basics and get on stage.

Whether you wanted to boost your confidence, improve your public speaking, or just make people laugh, this course gave you the tools to get started.

In these workshops, attendees learnt joke writing, performance skills, and how to find their own voice on stage.

Attendees got the chance to develop their own stand-up set and perform in a final showcase on Sunday 13 July at The Beacon, Cliffe Castle.
