The First Five

The First Five

Have you ever walked out of a comedy show thinking "I could do that"? The Imperial Hotel (Winner of Best Venue Melbourne Fringe 2013) is hosting workshops on to start stand­up: the building blocks of jokes, stage presence, and tips on how to find gigs in Melbourne.

Hosted by Lauren Bok, Best Emerging Comedy Nominee (Adelaide Fringe 2012) and writer for Channel 31's Live on Bowen, The First Five aims to inspire would­ be comedians with useful, practical information in a fun, informal and supportive environment.
 
'You'd be surprised how many people that are comedy fans have a secret desire to do it themselves," said Bok. 'This workshop is a chance to dip your toe in," she said.
 
If you've ever thought about giving stand­up a go, or just curious to see how it all works, come out of the comedy closet and find your feet at The First Five.
