Turning Stories into Stand-Up
One-Day Comedy Workshop with Jay Yoder
Everyone has stories. Not everyone knows how to make them funny.
In this high-energy, hands-on workshop, comedian and educator Jay Yoder will show you how to take real-life moments and turn them into stand-up comedy that actually works on stage.
Whether you’re a beginner, a storyteller, or someone who just wants to be more engaging in front of a crowd, this workshop will give you simple, repeatable tools to find the funny in your life and deliver it with confidence.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify what makes a story funny
- Turn real-life moments into clear setups and punchlines
- Add tags, act-outs, and perspective to elevate your material
- Avoid common mistakes that slow down or lose an audience
- Build confidence performing in front of a group
This is not a lecture—you’ll be writing, sharing, and getting feedback in a supportive, no-pressure environment.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
- At least one polished joke or bit
- A repeatable process for writing new material
- More confidence in your voice and storytelling
No experience necessary. Just bring your stories—we’ll handle the funny.
