"Everyone expects stand-up to be like the movies, where you go for one audition and suddenly get a film. But that's not how it works. In terms of the craft, there is the whole writing of it. There is performance. There is consistency. So, that's what I'll try and highlight at the workshop," she reveals, being reluctant to divulge too many details about what advice she will share with the participants.

One thing, though, that she does tell us is that the workshop will serve as that kick in the backside that everyone needs sometimes, adding, "If I had to give one tip to anyone looking to become a stand-up comic, it would be this — get up on stage," while assuring us that even though that sounds deceptively simple, it's decidedly not.
