Comedy is all about timing and this free online public speaking course helps you create and perfect your act. There’s no greater rush for a performer than standing in front of an audience and hearing their applause - unless you’re a comic. Then the greatest rush is hearing their laughter go on and on and knowing it’s because of you. This course shows you how to build a stand-up act that includes everything from writing and performing jokes to spicing up everyday stories with humour. Sign up to amplify your comic gift with a few public speaking tweaks.
