About
**This session is taking place at St Mary's Church on Upper Street, in the Johnston Room which is accessed via the Neighbourhood Centre which is just next door to the church.** Our Angel Comedy Writing Gym is a free space for comedy writers and performers to sharpen their pencils and stretch their typing fingers through a series of comedy writing exercises led by an experienced comedy tutor. These are for anyone in comedy writing – whatever experience level\* - to get you out of the house, motivated, writing, and also to learn new comedy writing techniques from an experienced comedy professional. It's also a chance to write with other people, if you wish, and to meet with other performers and writers (meeting other writing people is often the hardest part of the job!). There will be a break during the workshop, and opportunity for a social afterwards. The workshops, like much of what we do at Angel Comedy, are free at the point of service but there will be an opportunity to donate at the end of the session. \*If you are new to comedy writing, we recommend you have a look at our Beginner's Stand Up Comedy Course. The writing gym classes, while open to anyone, are designed with experienced performers in mind, so might not cover the basics in such a thorough way. LATECOMERS NOT ADMITTED (You can be no later than 10 minutes late for this class) **Testimonials** "The Angel Comedy Writing Gym is a goldmine for aspiring comedians.
