Nantucket Comedy Festival Presents Stand Up & Learn

Thursday, Friday & Saturday, June 7–9, the Nantucket Comedy Festival presents our popular Stand Up & Learn Winter Workshop and Professional Comedy Series.  Executive Director Kevin Flynn will be on island to conduct the workshops for Stand Up & Learn, a comedy education program for young people ages 8–18.  An initiative of the Nantucket Comedy Festival, Stand Up & Learn enables island children to build self-confidence while learning to create and perform original stand-up comedy.  Children can choose to perform in a special kids’ show on Saturday evening at the Dreamland, and even return in the summer for Stand Up & Learn’s Kids’ Night on Wednesday, July 11. 

Workshops for this session will take place in the Dreamland Studio Theater, 17 South Water Street, on Thursday and Friday, June 7–8 from 3:30–5 p.m. and on Saturday, June 9 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m., followed by a children’s performance at 5 p.m. put on by the workshop participants.  Please sign up soon, as this class will be limited to a maximum of fifteen children.  All children’s workshops are free to participants. Saturday evening at 7:00, a professional stand up comedy show (for ages 18 and over) in the Dreamland’s main theater will feature Mark Riccadonna and Richie Byrne. 

Please note, portions of this workshop will be filmed for use in a promotional video.
