IMPROVISED STAND UP

Are you a comic who is looking to strengthen their sets? Do you seek to add some act outs, discover some new tags, or see what transitions could emerge? In this course, we implement improv techniques and games to expand your sets! Your instructor, a graduate of world famous improv theaters The Second City, iO Chicago, and Annoyance Theater, has pulled from her extensive training, experience, and education to create this unique curriculum. Currently on tour, she uses these techniques and practices to generate and refine her own stand up material for fresh, strong sets.

Have you ever wanted to try stand up, but didn't know where to start? THIS is the class for you! We cover the fundamentals of stand up comedy, including generating and refining material, joke structures and types, and crafting and expanding a set. We also cover performative elements like how to confidently approach, occupy, and leave a stage, and how to powerfully handle hecklers. This class will get you ready to crush at any open mic, and is the prerequisite for our intermediate course. At the end of our class, we will have a graduation show to share our work!

CLASSES

Have you ever wanted to try stand up? Are you a fan of storytelling shows like The Moth? We offer courses that establish the fundamentals, expand on them, and culminate in a graduation show! Check out our calendar to see when our next sessions are!

WORKSHOPS

We offer workshops throughout the year that span a wide variety of skills! Workshops are perfect for sampling skills, and expanding existing ones. We also have intensives that offer the deliverables of a longer class on a shorter timeline. Our boot camps are a combo of the two- a menu of options that you can take as a series (often at a discount), or individually!

SHOWS

Tamale is a full-time touring comic and produces shows with fellow comedians from the road! They travel along in a COMVOY, bringing laughs to a city near you. Brass Chuckles produces both in-person and virtual shows, and those ticket links can be found on our calendar!

COACHING

Whether new to comedy, looking to go to the next level, or wanting to polish your current material towards a goal, Tamale's got you covered! Explore a single session to upgrade your material, or commit to a series of sessions to level up.

PODCAST

Join Tamale as she interviews baddies from the communities she's travelled in throughout the years including gender performers in the burlesque and drag scenes, art communities, motorcyclists, skydivers, fire performers, circus performers, and of course... dog moms.
