Alameda Brewing

Your Stand-Up Journey Starts Here. Some part of you has always wondered if you could do this. You've got something funny in you. We'll help you turn it into five minutes of stand-up comedy in just six weeks. For the first 5 weeks, a professional stand-up comedian coaches you and a small group of classmates. One night a week, 2 hours a night. No long lectures, no sitting quietly in the back. You'll write, workshop, and riff together as a group, building your material from a blank page into a tight 5-minute set, finding your voice, sharpening your stage presence, and learning what it actually takes to get booked. Expect to laugh a lot and leave your comfort zone behind. Then comes Week 6: your Student Showcase. Your instructor's right there with you as you perform live, in front of a room packed with your own friends and family. Not one of our public shows. Just your night. Six weeks. One stage. One set that's all yours.
