Comedy Classes (a good present)?

Feeonaw

Hey Y'all,

I'm thinkin' of gettin some comedy classes as a birthday pressie to my boyfriend started

He's such a huge comedy fan and I think he'd be really good onstage but he just doesn't know where to begin.

The thing is we're going travelling from Sep 1st til end of November.
Anyone know of any good stand-up classes that'll be starting up after that?

I know there's probably lots of posts just like mine and yiz are probably sick of replying to them but I'd love to get your help on this! Feel free to either reply or PM.

(by the way Reuben was amazing at the Comedy Festival last weekend? anyone else in agreement?)

Implying that he needs lessons in comedy? He might take that the wrong way..

I just got an email about this..it's an improv intensive AND a fundraiser..looks good, the price is WAY reasonable for a smallish size group workshop, and the Craicpack folk are funny!
