Intro to Stand-Up Comedy Workshop with Ollie Young
The Jesters Comedy Club, Bath, BA1 2QU
Saturday 23rd May 2026
A down-to-earth Stand-Up Comedy workshop for complete beginners. No experience needed, no “comedy background” required.
Ollie will take you through how jokes are built, how to turn a random thought into a 'bit', and what actually happens when you step onstage for the first time. There’ll be writing exercises, practical tips, and end in a relaxed private sharing of material to your chosen guests.
It’s relaxed, honest and genuinely usefulm, and a great way to try out Stand-Up for the first time, with a supportive space to share it yourself. You’ll leave with material started, and fewer excuses not to use it.
Hosted by Ollie Young and The Jesters Comedy Club
