Just wondering if any other Stand Up Comedy Novices are interested in creating a monthly/weekly group session to gain experience & encouragement to actually do stand up regularly?

If we can get more people interested a regular event could be organised.

Yes lets get this thing moving,
No more repressing our desires to leave people in stitches (one way or the other....)
Carpe diem!!

[Darragh169]

sounds good.I would like in please.

[AnthonyK7]

right so thats 3, where in Country suits for meetings, im in Kildare.

[Ras' Al Ghul]

I reckon as there's tonnes of open mic places and probably people wanting to do it Dublin would be the best choice.And eh I live in Dublin.

[grimbergen]

I'd be interested as well, most likely. Sounds like a good initiative, well done.

[Ras' Al Ghul]

Ok four people is a decent core,
We could meet up in some pub- or at my flat near IFSC,
(So long as i don't wake up in a bath full of ice sans my kidneys)

[AnthonyK7]

How about Tuesday night at the battle of the axe in the ha penny briidge inn, its an open mic & we can see how bad we can be & still do it?

[AnonoBoy]

I'd point out that you need to book a spot at the Battle of the Axe in advance - you can't just turn up on the night and get spots.

Also - ye might want to meet up somewhere where you can chat. Sitting quietly watching other comedians might not be the best start to the group. And the Battle always runs late so there's not a lot of time for chatting afterwards as people have to get buses etc.

[AnthonyK7]

Yeah, I didnt mean to get a spot on that night but at least to put it into action, book spots. set the first hurdle, could all meet before it started, im not that interested sitting at a table where people are just trying to be funnier than the last person to speak, its like a support group for potential addicts that I have in mind.

I don't quite get what you want to do to be honest.

yeah its a bit muddled, what I mean is that the idea of sitting around with people just trying to be funny is not what I am in interested in but the idea of sitting around talking about what can be funny & then making sure that each person performs what they think is funny is more what i want from this. Does that make more sense? more of a comedy class & discussion than a show & tell.

Yeah. It kinda makes sense. However it sounds like you're looking for a comedy course - maybe just do one of those.

Good point. Also most courses are sh*t.

It's just that if you get 5 people who all want to be comedians in a room together then it's going to turn into a 'out funny each other' night. It always does!
