How Stand Up Comedy Can Improve Your Presentation Style : ‘All-in-90’ TRAINING
What can we learn from Stand Up comedy when we are putting together and delivering a presentation? This session will teach you skills, tips and tricks on how to edit material and to take anĀ audienceĀ on a journey, from the perspective of Stand Up comedy. There are enormous similarities in agency presentations and the way comedy works. Exploring Stand Up as an art form, the workshop will take you from a blank page, to a short comedy set, performed at the end of the sessionĀ under virtual gig conditions. Ā During the 90 minutes, it will cover how to generate ideas and turn them into material, using writing games and performance techniques. Ā Delegates will leave with the tools to find and hone an authentic and comedic voice.
Hereās what Andrew Southcott (Captivate Group) had to say after attending a course delivered by Gemma.
āGemma is a fantastic tutor, she knows her stuff and teaches the building blocks any budding agency presenter will need, but far more importantly she creates collaborative, supportive and positive environments which allow you to be the most creative version of yourself. Overall, this workshop will elevate and positively challenge your writing and performance using comedy formats so that you end up with a wonderful presentation, thatās true to you.ā
