The Fundamentals of Stand-Up Comedy, Lesson block 1-4:

Introduction: these first 4 of my 35 lessons get you off on the right foot.
Both beginning stand-up comics looking for a leg up and seasoned professionals wanting to get-back-to-basics: begin at the beginning. . . . more info.
1) How to Tell a Joke on a Stand-Up Comedy Stage, During a Speech and in the Work Place, 3 hours
•Nuts and bolts of all joke-telling.
•Jokes, effectively delivered, go a long way to reduce tensions and further communications between a stand-up comic and his audience.
•The same principle applies off--stage to effective interactions at any business between the management, staff and clients.
Or any relationship between friends and family members, teacher and student, player and coach, etc. ...more info.

2) How to Write a Joke: the 7 basic joke forms, 3 hours
•Workshop contains a system for writing jokes that works for you every day.
•Learn the seven basic joke forms. ...more info.

3) Narrative Character: your persona, 3 hours
•How to naturally exploit your humorous side. ...more info.

4) Editing Your Comedy or Serious Speech into an Act, 3 hours
Both the serious and funny parts of your speech need to be tightly edited, just like a top-flight stand-up comedy routine:
•Ordering bits within your comedy act or speech for greater audience response: get bigger laughs and longer applause!
•Number and quality of laughs need in stand-up comedy vs. in a keynote speech.
•The different standards between starting out with your "little league" local club scene and clearly understanding the very different goals required by "major league" national TV shows.
•Polishing: punch it up, or edit out! ...more info.

Jim Richardson will come to you:
Minimum enrollment: 5 students.
Details upon request: ask about added perks for hosting workshops.

Jim, please email me when you have new three-hour Lessons taught live over the Internet which I take through my web cam:

This, so you can take all 35 Lessons from the comfort of your own home or office through your computer's, smart phone's or handheld device's Audio/Video webcam.
Most computers sold in the past few years come with a built in Audio/Video webcam:
look for a pinhole in the top of your smart phone, tablet (iPad, etc.), Windows PC or Apple computer monitor.

See above photos for example built-in webcam solutions: an Android phone, iPad, Windows PC computer monitor, Microsoft external webcam, and two iPhones.

Note: If you have an older computer, USB webcams are available at very low cost for both Windows PC and Apple computers.
(See above photo of a Microsoft example external Audio/Video webcam solution.)
These online Workshops let you get the same information as the in-person version of Lessons 1-4.
Ask about additional perks when you take the Lessons with your friends over the same computer.

To get some more information about making One-on-One consulting appointments with Jim for additional fees: Coaching and Co-Writing.

I have read the descriptions for the first four Workshops.
Plus, I both understand and accept privacy rights as reasons why I may record myself,
but I may not record the instructor's presentation nor video examples nor other attendees.

a) have time to mail your course materials and
