(DRUM ROLL...)
Virginmirth Comedy is proud and actually, really excited to announce our collaboration with a true master of comedy - Greg Dean (he wrote the bestseller "Step By Step to Standup Comedy").
JULY 2008 - LONDON - will see Greg fly over from Los Angeles to offer two limited edition Comedy Workshops based on his 25 years experience delivering comedy workshops. This offer will not be available in shops and stores!
Virginmirth Workshops have always recognised the innovation that Greg's unique method of generating material has offered - and here is the "Dean of Comedy" - in person - delivering a Comedy Workshop based on many startlingly original ideas.
If you have any interest at all in pursuing the writing of original comedy material, whether as a standup or as a comedy writer - you can't afford to miss these workshops - which are equally suitable for beginners or experienced performers.

ADVANCED PERFORMING
(Eliminating Self-Criticism)
In this one day seminar, Dean places an emphasis on your individual performance. Dean will teach you five skills used by professional comedians, then work with each comic to integrate these skills into your show.

You will also learn to:
· Eliminate Self Criticism · Deal with Stage Fright · Riff with the Audience · Establish Your Comic Voice · Identify Your Negative Opinions · Remember with Non-Word Memorization · Create Instant Audience Rapport · Use Improv to Create Material · Explore multiple Points of View Saturday · July 12th · 9:00am - 5:30pm £ 125 £75 / $150 US (Deposit required for Advanced Performing Seminar Only.) £200 (If you also sign up for Joke Writing Intensive Seminar) £100 / $200 US (Deposit required to reserve a seat in both seminars.)
