WORKSHOPS

Have you ever watched a comedian and thought "I could do that"? Here's your chance to find out if you could.

Gavin's workshops cover all facets of stand-up from how to begin thinking about doing comedy to writing and performing professional level comedy routines.

Originally devised as a stand-up comedy course for Adult Education in Hobart the workshops are designed to help new comedians start performing more professionally, more quickly and to help them avoid the more common pitfalls that come in the first few years of doing stand-up.

The original course has also been adapted into a 90 minute school workshop for high school students and a 6 hour intensive workshop for new and aspiring comedians. The courses and workshops have been held around Tasmania and in Melbourne and Perth.

Gavin also offers one-on-one tutoring and mentorship which is used by both beginners and working comedians.

The workshops are also great for motivation and team building as well as improving your communication, public speaking and presentation skills.

A veteran of over ten years in the industry and with seven Melbourne International Comedy Festivals under his belt Gavin has extensive stand-up experience and has performed around the country alongside Australia's top comedians. He has appeared on the Comedy Channel, ABC-TV and The 7PM Project and is a regular guest on ABC Radio in Hobart.

Next workshops will be held during the Hobart Comedy Festival (July 24 & 31). Click here for more info.
