microphone-with-stand Hey Everybody! I hope you all had a GREAT relaxing summer & you all enjoyed the sunshine.

Now that the fall is here, I have a few questions for you! Do you like to laugh?

Do you like to make other people laugh?

Would you like to brush up on your comedic skills?

Did you answer YES to all those questions?

Well, then you came to the right place! I received an e-mail from the Manhattan Comedy School telling me about their new Stand-Up Comedy and StoryTelling classes that they’re offering this fall. It’s for teenagers and adults alike, so it’s fun for anyone to try. They offer Stand-Up For Beginners, Stand-Up for Teenagers [13-17 yrs old], StoryTelling Level 1, and a Master Class Level 2 for those of you who think you got what it takes to rock the mic.

They say that the goals of their workshops are to help everyone overcome stage fright, find their comic voice, and develop their performing strengths. But, if anything, I see it as a good time to have some laughs with a group of people who are interested in the same things you are! At the end of the workshop, every “student” performs in their Graduation Show, where they’ll actually get a chance to perform at Comix Comedy Club. Yes, I really did just say Comix Comedy Club. [Meagan's Sidenote: For those who don't know, Comix Comedy Club is on W14th street and is one of the most well-known comedy clubs in the city!] Every student also gets to walk away with their own DVD of the show, which could always be used as a DVD resume.

All class schedules & everything don’t go up for a few more days, but I thought I’d give you guys a heads up! If you’re interested, check it out at ManhattanComedySchool.com or call them at 212-462-3200 and tell them PopUp New York sent ya!
