Funny Bones offers three 90 minute workshops at Carrow House, Norwich on Friday 30 October. Young people will build their performer toolkits, learn how to create memorable characters and dive into the art of the absurd, all while developing new skills, confidence and connections.
Workshops will cover improv techniques, joke construction and how to engage an audience, and see actors put this into practice by devising brand new sketches drawing on real life.
Funny Bones is a new programme from acclaimed comedy producer and director Tom Scudamore. His recent credits include directing the acclaimed Beautiful Thing (Sewell Barn) and show-running a sell-out sketch show at the Camden Fringe Festival. Tom developed his practice at renowned comedy training ground The Second City in Chicago, and in Sydney, Australia. In Norwich he founded sketch troupe The Earlham Bus Incident, now in its fourth year. He has a wealth of experience teaching young people professional stage craft and comedy-making, including at The Garage, City College and Norwich Theatre Royal.
