I'm not sure if stand up comedy is for me, what would you recommend and what's your refund policy?
We can recommend several things for you. 1. You could book our online Intro to stand up comedy course for $50 (great way to start without spending a fortune) plus if you decide later to book our complete industry course for $299.99, you will receive a $50 cashback visa card, making the cost of the online course FREE! You can also purchase our book, "So you wanna be a stand up Comic?-15 things to know before and during your journey" Both of these suggestions are a great way to start and don't cost an arm and a leg. Our refund policy gives you up to 7 days before the start of the course for a complete refund (minus any booking fees). After 7 days, no cash refunds allowed but we are happy to give you credit towards our next up and coming class for the same amount paid.
What's the difference between your 5 day Course and your 5 week course?
Both courses offer the same curriculums, however, the days and times are different to suit your schedule. If you have limited time, want to get started right away and work a 9-5 job during the week, we suggest the 5 day complete course. These courses are held in the evenings, leaving your mornings and afternoons free. If you have a flexible schedule with lots of things to do weekdays, we suggest the 5 week course. It meets once a week on sat afternoons, giving you a week in-between classes to write, rehearse and fine tune your performance.
