Odd Fellows Stand-up Comedy Class
Have you have ever wanted to try stand-up comedy, professionally or just for family and friends? If so, this is the class for you.
This seven-week training class, scheduled for early 2024, will focus on the writing, development, and presentation of original material. Jack Gallagher, a professional comedian, will work with each person on story development, stage
presence, connecting with the audience, microphone technique, and more. The goal is for each person to develop five minutes of material, culminating in a performance for family, friends, and the public. You bring your own ideas: Jack
will work with you to transform your ideas into a funny routine.
Jack Gallagher has been a professional comedian for over 45 years. With appearances on television, in movies, and on stage, he knows what makes something funny and entertaining.
