Want the complete Course - Do one course that covers our Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced courses all in go

This course is aimed at new comedians, students who have not completed a comedy course or gigged before, and new comedians who want to completely refresh their skills and expand their comedy sets.

Start with the basic skils from the beginners course and build up this up with the Intermediate course lessons to gain a deeper understanding of comedy, and then onto extending the set with what is covered by the advanced course - all in one go over 10 online sessions.

The techniques taught are practical and effective. These are taught by professional comics who are gigging and working currently. The Laughing Horse courses have been teaching comedy now since 2006  and have taught thousands of students, many of whom are gigging and making a living from Comedy.

Our tutors have huge experience in teaching this art form and giving valuable feedback, problem-solving and encouraging students to develop their routine. They have a wide-ranging knowledge of the industry and how to make career progress.

What happens on the course?

The course is very practical and runs over 10 weeks

This teaching is done via a zoom meeting, this lets students from around the country (and sometimes world) take part - and there's two online graduation shows organised for students during the coourse, one part way and one after the last session of the course open to friends, relatives and the public. The students perform for up to 5-15 minutes in the showcases. There is then a further showcase in a venue open to students as well

The Course Covers eveything in our Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Courses - details on those course pages.

The mantra for the course is: “It is not by luck professional comedians are funny!”

You can be taught how to be funny, but it’s up to you how funny you want to be. That’s down to the work you put in, but you should know what that work should be.

Comedy can seem a big unfathomable task. But with the right coaching and guidance, Stand-up Comedy will be easier and far more enjoyable and can become addictive.
