This is just a short clip where Greg starts to break down the anatomy of a joke and how one goes about using a simple system to write a joke that has all the elements of a truly good joke.\u00a0 In just three minutes, Greg shows you how assumptions play an important part in both the set up and the punch and how to use the assumptions to get your audience to laugh.<\/p>\n
Greg teaches his techniques in two classes.\u00a0 The first is called “How to Build a Stand Up Comedy Routine” and is the beginning class (also called the “101 class”) and the “Advanced Joke Writing & Performing Class” (also known as the “201 class”).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though these classes are named a beginning and advanced,\u00a0 they are actually classes that stand up comedians of any number of years of experience can take.\u00a0 They are beginning and advanced in the Greg Dean system.\u00a0 If you’re interested in faster and better ways to create good jokes and you want to dive deeper on joke writing then you’ll want to take both of these classes.<\/p>\n
Greg teaches his classes live in Santa Monica as well as live on zoom.\u00a0 If you are in the greater Los Angeles area, you can sign up for his classes at the Santa Monica Playhouse.\u00a0 If you’re not local, then check the website frequently to see when the next live zoom class is scheduled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
