1Final Showcase at
The Ice House
  1. Find your funny. Learn comedic structure: Premise, Point of View, Act-Out. Then prompts that pull material out of your own life. Returning students go straight to work.
  2. Get up. Get notes. Get up again. A set in the Legendary Room, a set in the California Room, with notes from both coaches. Record every one to review later.
  3. Dial it in. Still up twice, you keep what the room laughed at and shape it into your set, line by line, until every word sounds like you.
  4. Dress rehearsal. Full run, all together. Emmy winner Suzanne Luna joins to give notes and sharpen your stage presence.
  5. Showtime. A five-minute evening set at the oldest comedy club in America, with your friends and family in the seats!

I was terrified to try this material in front of a crowd, but this class made me realize something about myself. I’m funny.

After my first class, I watched my video and it was not funny at all! After 5 weeks with Corey, my showcase performance at the Ice House was a blast!

I just finished my first class with Cool Beans and the first thing when it was over was to sign up again.

Our why

A safe room to be funny.

At an open mic, our founder Corey Martin Craig got made fun of for his material. So he built Cool Beans Comedy to be the opposite: a room where everyone is welcome, and everyone is rooting for you.

You leave more confident, onstage and off. The comedy is the byproduct.
