Think you’re funny? Ever wanted to try stand-up? Now’s your chance to learn how to do it right. New York Comedy Club Stamford is launching its first-ever workshop, created for aspiring comedians and anyone curious about the art of stand-up comedy.

“Whether you’re dreaming of getting on stage or just want to be the funniest person at the office, this workshop is a great first step,” says Candi Clare, head talent booker at New York Comedy Club. Participants will learn directly from Clare and guest professional comedians in a fun, supportive environment. “I love Stamford’s mix of campus energy and corporate hustle—it’s full of people who could totally crush it on stage.” 

The workshop offers a hands-on, supportive experience designed to help participants develop their comedic voice, learn how to structure jokes for maximum impact, and build confidence on stage. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the industry directly from working comedians and the bookers of New York Comedy Club. The class also introduces students to the Comedy Jackpot mic and showcase series, overseen by Joe Checkman, Development Booker at NYCC, where one standout participant will have the chance to perform in a real competition. With space limited to only 16 spots per session, the workshop ensures personalized attention and direct feedback. Instructor Candi Clare—who also leads advanced workshops in NYC—is joined by Joe Checkman to provide expert guidance and support, with both dedicated to nurturing new talent across all New York Comedy Club venues.
