-Crowd interaction:

How to work your audience, how to read them, and how to incorporate them into your set. How to know who you're dealing with in your crowd.

-Writing comedy:

How to write jokes, when to write jokes, and how to tie them into your set.

-Improv:

We look at how improv techniques and games can help develop your material and stage persona.
