Master Class with Late Show Comic Eddie Brill

Eddie Brill will instruct you in the key elements towards gaining the insight and understanding necessary in developing and retooling your show, from a live stage performance to a smart and hilarious television experience. In order to achieve maximum focus with each member of his workshop, Eddie allows only 10 participants in each session; so we suggest you act now.

Each workshop participant receives individual coaching on the spot from Eddie, and from fellow classmates; allowing for a unique student-teacher perspective in the process of building a firm foundation for you to truly understand who you are on stage.

Make no mistake; this rare opportunity for comics to be completely honest with themselves and each other is for the seriously minded only. So leave your egos at the door, and get ready for a hardworking day you will never forget.

IMPORTANT NOTE: WORKSHOP AVAILABLE TO ALL WORKING COMICS,"STUDENT FEE" ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REGISTERED NC COMEDY ARTS FESTIVAL COMICS (WHO HAVE ELECTED TO REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP PACKAGE).
