The Feminine Comique

The world of stand up comedy can be an isolating place for women, who are vastly in the minority in this community. For this reason many women are deterred from stand up early in their careers or before they have even begun. The Feminine Comique, a new course offered by the Lincoln Lodge, has been created to give female standups the confidence and skills they need to create a polished five-minute standup act.

The Feminine Comique gives students the opportunity to spend five weeks in a supportive all-female (and trans friendly) environment while writing and rehearsing a five-minute stand up set.

Join one of Chicagos top comics, Cameron Esposito, for a course in stand up comedy, offered by the locally and nationally revered Lincoln Lodge, Chicagos top stand up and variety showcase.

The five weekly sessions of this course will focus on:
Joke structure
Finding an attitude and persona
Connecting with an audience
Topical humor
Creating a cohesive set

The course will culminate in a student showcase at the Lincoln Lodge and will provide students with an opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. Students also have the opportunity to purchase a DVD of their performance at The Lincoln Lodge.

Classes are at 7 pm on the following dates:
Jan 5th
Jan 12th
Jan 19th
Jan 26th
Feb 2nd
With a final student show on Wednesday, Feb. 4th.
Show details will be provided at the first class on January 5th.
