April 21 | Basic Joke Writing and Performance 101 with Comedy-Duo The Martin Duprass
Covers simple joke writing techniques and brainstorming methods, as well as basic information about how to perform at a comedy open mic. While performance is not writing, the two are intrinsically tied together if you want to do standup comedy. The best joke in the world won't hit if you're not using the microphone correctly. Workshop will draw from books including How to Be Funny by Steve Allen and Truth in Comedy by Charna Halpern, Del Close, and Kim Johnson.
The Martin Duprass is the best married-to-each-other-prop-comedy-duo of all time. Performing on stages across the country for over 14 years, Lauren Thomas-Martin and Jeremy Martin have honed their ridiculousness to perfection. Semiregularly, The Martin Duprass produce Date Night: The Show That Tries To Get You Laid, a comedy variety show, and Schmancy Pants, a murder-mystery themed sketch show. You can also check out Dawgmuh: As We Remember It, the pair’s 38 minute from-memory remake of the 1999 Kevin Smith film and many more short films on their YouTube page.
