Learn stand-up comedy in 2010 at the Fringe... and support the Free Festival while you are doing it. The Laughing Horse Offers courses throughout the year are aimed at getting people who want to try stand-up comedy to learn the basics and get up on stage - and these courses are also available at weekends and on weekdays throughout the Fringe, suitable for complete novices, existing comedians wanting to improve their skills, or actors and musicians wanting to improve their crowd interaction skills, or to move into comedy.

As well as the Laughing Horse courses this year we have a course about how to make a living writing comedy, from experienced comedy writer Dave Cohen.

Although these courses are not Free, all profits from the Laughing Horse courses go towards the running costs of the Free Festival
