Don can help jump-start your comedy career helping you find and develop your comedy character - the part of you that is uniquely funny. Don Barnhart's Stand Up Comedy Class doesn't promise to make you the next Seinfeld but he can help you become a much better stand up comedian or just become a funnier person in real life!
By teaching you the fundamental skills, principles, and techniques used by himself and other top-working comedians Don's approach can cut years off your development as a stand-up comedian and comedy performer. " My goal is to help you find the funny within and bring that to the stage", added Barnhart. "If you're not getting paid, it's just a hobby!"
If you're already performing comedy, Don's experience will help you to fine tune your act and get you to the next level. Are you a "comedian", rather than a "comic"? (A comic says funny things; a comedian is a funny person) Besides working on the technical side of comedy: Material, performance and technique, you'll also learn about the business side of "Show Business", Making money, marketing and promotion.
