Newbie Cohorts have been a cornerstone of WSU NYC's work since the beginning. Offered 3-4 times a year, this curriculum takes students through stand up basics, writing exercises, and tips on navigating

New York's comedy scene.

 

We use the toolbox approach, introducing students to a different style of writing and performance each week of the program, so that students can best find their unique comedic voice.

 

The program culminates in a final showcase at the Kraine Theatre.

 

For the sliding scale price of $80-$150, students will receive:

  • Six weeks of instruction and individualized feedback

  • A spot in the class showcase

  • Performance photos

  • Performance tape

  • Promotional materials

  • Graduation benefits, including access to our network of alumni, and future performance and learning opportunities 

Masterclasses are a new addition! Led by industry professionals, these classes are held between cohort cycles. Topics range from late night writing to roast battling. Prior completion of the Newbie Program is **not required** to join in on the fun!
