Jokes & Comedians - How can I learn to be a comedian???


Expert: Eric - 8/20/2007

Question
I have been told by hundreds(seriously,hundreds!!)of people that I should be a comedian. Im becoming more and more interested in trying it out. I was hoping that u could give me a few names of any comedy schools in chicago or the surrounding suburbs. Im definately interested in getting as much information as possible so if you are able to get names of some the comedy schools out here then I can go from there. Thank you so very very much!

Answer
Hi Sandra,

Becoming a comedian (in my opinion) happens at birth. You’ve ether got it or you don’t.
From what you’ve said, those in your sphere of influence seem to think you possess what it takes.
I come from a strong improve back round so of course my first suggestion would be The Improve-Chicago, “The Old-School Comedy School”. Here’s a link:  http://www.improvchicago.ca/classes.htm
You could also try looking up “The Second City”.
I hope this helps and you find what you’re looking for, if not, sorry.
If you need any other help just let me know.
