P2000 instead of P4242 for a 2-day Standup Comedy Workshop by the International Academy of Film and Television

If left untickled, funny bones become prone to decalcification that can only be remedied by eating a banana while watching someone slip on its potassium-rich banana peel. Flex guffaw-inducing muscles with today’s Groupon: P2000 instead of P4242 for a 2-day Standup Comedy Workshop by the IAFT.

IAFT’s Stand-up Comedy Workshop instructs students of all ages to navigate the ins and outs of performing stand-up with interactive instruction. The workshop covers the fundamentals of perpendicular punchlining, including lectures about how to construct an effective comedy routine, techniques for gathering humorous material, and hands-on demonstrations on how best to deal with hecklers throwing expired goods from the produce section and controlling a room. The workshop serves both as a jumping-off point for beginning career comedians and a shyness-shedding device for timid public speakers. After the two-day laugh clinic, Groupon wielding comedians can test their newly sharpened wit rapiers by performing their brand new five-minute routines in front of a live audience during an Open Mic night at Magellan's Landing, located at Marina Mall in Mactan. To ensure painless side-splitting, eponymous giggle guru Richard Hearsey will share his gifts in jestering and slapstickery; he has brought his comedic talents all over the world, working for companies like Mark Goodson Productions and Freemantle Media.

The International Academy of Film & Television (IAFT) offers courses that combine theory and application under the expert auspices of leading Hollywood filmmakers serving as faculty mentors. Located in the heart of Mactan Island, the tropical waterfront campus houses state-of-the-art facilities for both filming and post-production.
