Stand-up masterclass: Siân Docksey

This summer, we're partnering up with former EYT student turned stand-up comedian Siân Docksey to offer a wonderful workshop in stand-up comedy! Across two sessions, students will learn how to write a stand-up set, comedy monologue or character piece. They will develop and test their material, and prepare for a performance. Those who want to can then take part in an online stand-up comedy performance with Siân on the second evening.
