Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece

Stand-up Comedy with Kate Smurthwaite

Sun 9 - Sun 16 Jun 2024

Learn the skills and techniques employed by professional comedians to engage an audience, get them on your side and have them rolling in the aisles.

We will cover writing techniques, stage presence, keeping an audience in check, building performance skills and even try out some of our material to the rest of the group!

No experience necessary and you don't have to already "be funny". The skills you'll learn are transferable for business presentations, wedding speeches and any public speaking. Or maybe you'll want to start a whole new career!
