This is a peer workshop where you will develop your very own five minute stand-up set, led by comedian and Villain Theater Company member AL D. You will work with peers to get honest and constructive feedback as you build your five minute set. The class ends at 10:30pm, at which point you can walk to the other side of the theater and take part in our weekly open mic (Tuesdays from 10:00pm-12:00am) and apply the skills you learned in class right away, in front of an audience! Try out stand-up for the first time or hone your skills.

The class will culminate in a live stand-up performance on the Villain Theater stage.

🚨 Strict Attendance Policy 🚨 Students who miss more than one class will not be allowed to perform in the graduation showcase. Please only sign up if you can commit to all five weeks of class.

No Pre-requisites (though those who take VT-1: Improv Foundations prior to taking 5 for 5 are more successful)
