Creating Laughter with Arthur Smith

“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. See you in Greece.

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'.

What people say about Arthur and his courses:

The course was profoundly funny and also very informative. I haven’t laughed so much in ages.

Beautiful, relaxing, fun, friendly. 

Hard to find a person with as much experience as Arthur Smith.​

Listening to Arthur Smith sing Leonard Cohen on the terrace in the moonlight was unforgettable. I had a wonderful time.

So welcoming, so relaxing, will return.
