Thursday, Friday & Saturday, April 4–6, 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 Friday, July 12.
Workshops for this session will take place at The Dreamland in the Studio Theater, 17 South
Water Street, on Thursday and Friday, April 4–5 from 3:30–5 p.m. and on
Saturday, April 6 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m., followed by a children’s performance at
5 p.m. in the Studio Theater 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 Studio Theater
will feature Mark Riccadonna and Dave Rattigan.
