How the Modern Humor Course "This (Not) a Joke" Changed the Lives of 25 Teenagers
This March, participants of our course "This is (not) a joke" proved that their jokes can be no worse than professional stand-up! Want to know how ordinary teenagers turned into real comedy stars in just three weeks? Let's take a look behind the scenes and see how fear of the audience turned into confident jokes that made the whole hall laugh. Maybe you'd like to try your hand at the next course too? 🙈
A few details 😎
Three weeks, 25 daredevils and one microphone — that's the recipe for the course "This is (not) a joke to you." Instead of suffering from their problems, the teenagers learned to turn them into insanely funny stories! Under the guidance of cool mentors, they wrote their own monologues, honed them to perfection, and exploded with talent on stage, making the whole hall laugh.
Humor allows you to look at your fears and failures from a different perspective, turns tension into laughter, anxiety into confidence, and loneliness into a sense of community. When you joke about a difficult relationship with your parents or that awkward situation at school, they seem to lose their hold on you.
And the final concert? It was something! The hall, full of support, laughter, and applause, proved that teenage stories can be no less funny than performances by professional comedians!
