  • Sitcom
  • Difference between Live & Pre-recorded

In front of the camera and under heated lights at The Comedy School Studios course, members will have the opportunity to work on a variety of filmed comedy scenes in the group which you will record and then watch back. The emphasis is on learning techniques that will aid you in front of a camera and help you not to be intimidated by the studio.
