Valerie Lopez and Ellis Aych have teamed up to record a 10-part com­e­dy class inspired by the hilar­i­ous Com­e­dy Wham Presents episode with Ellis as guest.

Each episode is a rapid-fire 30 min­utes and full of … non­sense cov­ered in help­ful pointers.

Getting Started

So, you're funny and you don't know where to start? Come hang with us, we'll show you some cool $hit.

Research local open mics listings online and in person

There may not be a Comedy Wham live events listing everywhere you go, but if you use most search engines, you can find hits on open mics (some may be comedy and music) near you.

If you want to get start­ed, you got­ta find the stages

Go to different open mics

Going to the same open mic over and over is like being with the same person your entire life - sure it gets the job done, but don't you want a little spice and variety in your life? Be polyamorous with your open mics, you'll thank us later.

It’s all about build­ing your toolkit.

Learn the mechanics of open mics

From stage presence to figuring out why the host is flashing their phone's flashlight at your face and tapping their foot, learn the little details that can help make you a successful open mic comic.

Ladies and gen­tle­men, do not run the light.
