In partnership with The Cluntergate Centre, we are running three exciting courses in Wakefield District. They will be held at Red Ladder Local venues: Queen’s Mill in Castleford, The Grove Hall in South Kirkby, and The Cluntergate Centre in Horbury.

Courses are free of charge to the participant, and sign-up is open NOW!

STAND-UP COMEDY COURSES IN SOUTH KIRKBY AND HORBURY

In a Red Ladder first, we are excited to announce that we will be holding two Stand-Up Comedy courses, run by local comedian Alex Dunlop!

The course will be an introduction to stand-up comedy. You don’t need to have any performing or writing experience, just a willingness to learn and try something new. Every week we’ll go through the basics of creating and developing material and delivering it to audiences.

Alex has been teaching comedy and improvisation for almost five years, with a background in live performance. He also runs Leeds Playhouse’s Armley Comedy Club, which recently won the Fantastic for Families Award for the Best Age-Friendly Outreach activity.

The courses will run as follows:

The Grove Hall, South Kirkby

Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm – 8pm on the following dates: 18th Jan, 25th Jan, 1st Feb,  8th Feb, (NOT 15th) 22nd Feb, 1st March, 8th March

The Cluntergate Centre, Horbury

Sunday afternoons from 2.30pm – 4pm on the following dates: 22nd Jan, 29th Jan, 5th Feb, 12th Feb, (NOT 19th) 26th Feb, 5th March, 12th March 

Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. Wakefield District postcodes will be given priority. If the cost of travel is a barrier to your attendance, we can reimburse your costs; this will be arranged once your place has been offered. Please note that the course is for 18+ only, and both venues are wheelchair accessible.

Applications closed on Friday 9th December, however we may still be able to offer you a place. Please email alice@redladder.co.uk to enquire.
