Stand Up Storytelling Workshop LONDON

Service Description

10.45am-3.45pm, Saturday 28th February 2026 @ Theatre Deli, Leadenhall Street, London EC3A 4AF This is the workshop for you if you're a stand-up comedian wanting to sharpen your storytelling, or if you're a speaker or presenter looking to add killer storytelling skills to your speaking. Learn how to apply strategic embellishment, act-outs, present tense narration, meta comedy and a clear comic structure to create consistent laughter throughout a story. We will also explore your distinct comedic persona. We'll work with status and archetypes to see how your own persona informs your storytelling. You could also be the “straight person” navigating the absurdities of the situation, or alternatively you could be "the idiot in the story"! You're very welcome to bring along a story you currently tell (in stand-up or elsewhere, for example in a presentation or socially) to devlop it in the session. You will also work on a brand new story, alongside doing quick-fire exercises to develop comical stories on the spot. This workshop is highly practical with lots of guaranteed time on the microphone at the front of the class. If that sounds daunting, don't worry! My sessions are famously friendly and supportive, whilst also imparting lots of practical tips and insights. You will leave a better storyteller with technqiues and tips to sharpen your future storytelling. You will also take away your enhanced stories we have worked on in the session.
