ONLINE WORKSHOP - Stand-up Comedy - Killing the Frog

Sat, 30 Jan

|

Zoom

If we take a walk through the mind of our joke-spectator, we begin to understand why they laugh. Jokes have a shape and some norm they breach. We’ll look closely at how that works and see these theories embodied through jokes.

Lara is a small Mexican-American-Venezuelan comedian, improviser and entreprenurial woman who is currently telling her stories in Amsterdam...where (by the way) she just graduated with a Bachelor in Political Science, specializing in Political Theory, from the UvA. She produces La Risa, a weekly comedy night in Spanish, and co-produces four comedy nights in English. She’s also a House comedian at The Comedy Embassy, and a co-host of the The Comedy Undergraz Podcast with UvA Radio.

Fer is an Argentinian filmmaker, comedian and actor. He has more than ten years of experience onstage and onscreen writing, acting and performing comedy. He created the sketch comedy series Ctrl+JETA which you can watch on your local on demand television, if you are in Argentina. It was nominated for three big awards in Argentina but did not win any. He writes and illustrates humorous cartoons in @unperrovegano (he’s starting the English version in @onevegandog). He teaches sketch comedy writing and directing workshops.
