Creating Laughter with Arthur Smith

Sun 11 - Sun 18 Jul 2021

“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” (Victor Borges)
 
This Masterclass with Arthur Smith is for anyone who wants to write or perform comedy or for those who just want to gaze at the Aegean Sea and chuckle along with the waves. Arthur will provide advice, exercises, insights and showbiz gossip but, most importantly, will give all students a certificate.

At the end of our week we will present a comedy night to the other students which will demonstrate that 'laughter is the one true metaphysical consolation'.  See you in Greece.
