Masterclasses with Industry Professionals
We regularly bring in specialist comedians for one off masterclasses in schools. We understand how important it is for young people to see positive role models they can learn from, ask questions and receive feedback on their comedy skills from. We have now run workshops with some famous faces including Harry Hill, Alexei Sayle and Ken Dodd. Other comedians include Alfie Joey from Johnny Vegas’s BBC3 comedy programme Ideal, Gary Morrisrose from Slaughterhouse Live and stand up comedians Chris Cairns Brendan Riley, Sam Avery and Ben Schofield to name just a few.
