Private Comedy Lessons
In private lessons (in person in Kings Cross, London or in East Finchley or online) I will give you advice on any element you’d like to focus on to help you move to the next level of your stand-up comedy career or to add stand up techniques to your own work –
These may include:
- Working together to create a set or a show, improve performing confidence or your comedy writing skills, clarifying your unique comic voice, developing online comedy content, improving your knowledge of the comedy circuit or getting an outside eye on your stand-up and notes on it
- Individually doing the Beginner or Intermediate courses
Standard charge between £85-100 per hour
"Dec is a real master of his craft. I approached him a year ago, with the daunting task of doing a gig in front of 1000 Corporate colleagues. Dec helped me find the line between funny and over the top, tailoring the comedy perfectly to the audience and setting. The 10 minute-show he helped craft resulted in a promotion, which wouldn't have been possible without him"
“Dec is very good at active listening and asking questions he drew many anecdotes out of me that I didn’t expect I would be talking about, which then became funny material for the work. He really helped me get my script to closer to the way I speak casually rather than my writing voice”
“Definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to start in comedy & is unsure where to begin. Dec creates an environment which brings out the best in everyone and it definitely helped me go from local comedy club all the way to the BBC in a really short time”
“This course is great – do it! Dec’s friendly, relaxed but professional approach gets the best out of everyone & makes it so much fun to learn the basics of stand up. He brings knowledge, enthusiasm and experience to his teaching and covers everything from writing techniques to booking gigs in an accessible and engaging way. I learned loads, laughed a lot and met some great people while doing it.”
