The Comedian's Way workshop for Writers, Performers & Other Humans is the place to develop your authentic voice and deepest material for one-person shows, personal essays, books, scripts, blogs, or just to have a better attitude about life.

There are written descriptions of the workshop on Beth's site and also here on the Un-Cabaret website, but here's a pretty coherent and entertaining video description of what exactly happens and what you can expect from the workshop.

Beth always starts our workshop sessions with a rap about creative process. Here she talks about finding the right context for your work - and how you have to translate a particular piece of material when you adapt it to a different medium or context.

She couldn't do the kind of personal intimate storytelling that she wanted to do in the mainstream comedy clubs and that's why we started Un-Cabaret to begin with.

Click here for more info about The Comedian's Way workshop.

Our wildly-effective workshop, formerly known as the Un-Cab Lab, has evolved into something we now call THE COMEDIANS WAY. 

It's a place to develop your writing & performance skills.
To find yourself and your authentic voice.
To tell your story.
To develop your 7th sense - your sense of humor.
To discover your own personal organic comedy style.
To define a funnier, more compelling, more marketable point-of-view that you can use in meetings, pitches, presentations, shows, books, blogs or just to have a better attitude in life.

Follow the path walked by Julia Sweeney, Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho, Laura Kightlinger, Michael Patrick King, Merrill Markoe and so many other great comedians at the Un-Cabaret. Take the 'ow' out of Now and take your own fool's journey when you learn to live The Comedian's Way with alternative comedy guru Beth Lapides and me, her partner Greg Miller.
