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

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.
