Stand-Up Comedy for Actors
with the Comedy Cellar
Locations: NYC
Partnered with the renowned Comedy Cellar, join us to hone your comedic chops and turn your wit into laughter. Over seven sessions, acclaimed comedy instructor Rick Crom will delve into joke structure, dissect comedy writing with detailed line-by-line analysis, and guide students in the art of stand–up performance. The program concludes with a showcase on Saturday afternoon, November 9th, at the Comedy Cellar.
I’m so excited about our new workshop Stand-Up Comedy for Actors and want to share my excitement with you. The Comedy Cellar is, in my opinion, one of the liveliest, most culturally rich spots in NYC and beyond. I am deeply honored and excited to be in partnership with them. Rick Crom’s understanding of the art and craft of comedy is crystal clear, fiercely focused and as scientific with respect to laughs as Stanislavsky is with respect to acting. Friends the world needs Stand-Up comedians for two reasons: 1) Look around you, WE NEED LAUGHS. 2) Look around you, WE NEED TRUTH TELLERS.– Tom Oppenheim, Artistic Director of the Stella Adler Studio
