Comedy School for the Myrtle Beach Lawyer
Well, I signed up for a comedy workshop at the Comedy Cabana in Myrtle Beach. Manny Oliveira has put together a comedy workshop. I’ve seen Manny at least five times and he’s hilarious. He’s one of the top headliners in the business. Here’s a bit about the workshop:
Learn the writing and performance techniques it takes to be funny, as well as how to develop your own unique style. This class is great for everyone, regardless of your walk of life. You will perform your standup routine in a showcase performance at an Atlanta area comedy club!
Designed to challenge and hone the instinctive aspect of acting, improvisation is a fast-paced opportunity to understand how quickly your mind can react to various situations and to think on your feet. You will learn to trust your instincts and manifest them with confidence.
The workshop will consist of four three hour classes and end with a comedy showcase where all the workshop participants will do their routine on May 2 (my birthday) at the Comedy Cabana. If you’re in the area, you’re welcome to drop by.
I think that I’ll pick up some valuable tips that can be used in a courtroom. After all, public speaking is public speaking. I'll pass along any tips that will be helpful to trial lawyers. Otherwise, I’ll just have fun with it. My only concern is that I’ll be in Seattle for one of the sessions and will have to miss it. So no matter how well Manny teaches us, I’ll be 25% less funny.
Maybe we’ll finally be able to answer the question “Why are lawyers so stuffy?” that Evan poses at Notes from the (Legal) Underground.
