1 COMEDY INTRODUCTION
This opening story has a high degree of interactivity. The structure is partly determined by questions from the audience. So it really is two-way traffic!
Topics that are covered:
What exactly is Stand-up Comedy? / History of stand-up comedy (USA, England and NL)
How to become a professional comedian.
How exactly is a joke constructed (explanation based on jokes).
How to write your own comedy material and what are the most important comedy techniques.
How to present comedy.

2 COMEDY WRITING
Participants will now start writing comedy themselves. This is done in groups of about 3 to 8 people (depending on the total number of participants). One of the members of each group will write comedy or will be chosen as comedian. He or she has to bring the comedy story 'on stage'.
The main topics of the comedy per group are indicated by the client. For example: 'A new product' or: 'The day-to-day running of the company' or: 'The new way of working'.
During the groupwise writing and making up of the comedy, Harry gives individual directions and tips

3 COMEDYSHOW
Now the real comedy show takes place under inspiring presentation of the MC (Master of Ceremonies). This is the comedian who did the workshop. He will create an atmosphere in which everyone can make his comedy debut in a credible way. It will be a hilarious and compact show with a high degree of recognition, in which all 'comedians' will have about 4 to 5 minutes to make the audience laugh. There you are in front of your colleagues!

4 ASSESSMENT
The audience can judge what they thought of each performance by measuring the applause. The MC has the other half of the vote and chooses the best comedian of the day which is then appropriately rewarded.
