Masterclass Comedy
Ready to take your comedy to the next level? Our English-language comedy masterclasses offer a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business! Each masterclass is completely different, featuring a new stand-up comedian or comedy specialist—sometimes flown in from abroad just for the occasion. Whether it’s a full-day deep dive or an intensive half-day session, these workshops are designed to elevate your craft and refine your comedic skills.
We’ve previously welcomed the brilliant Adam Bloom, who shared insights from his book Finding Your Comic Genius: An in-depth guide to the art of stand-up comedy. And that’s just the beginning! Each masterclass covers new ground, so there’s always something fresh to learn—from punchline perfection to mastering crowd work.
Stay in the loop for upcoming sessions by following our Instagram page or signing up for the Comedyhuis newsletter. You won’t want to miss these exclusive learning opportunities with top-tier comedians!
Prijzen
We don’t have a fixed price for our masterclasses, as we tailor the cost depending on the workshop and the comedian leading the session.
Each masterclass offers something unique, so prices will vary. Keep an eye on our website or newsletter for the latest pricing info!

7-Week Beginner Stand-Up Course
The Utrecht International Comedy Festival likes to help starting stand-up comedians on their way, which is why we have been supporting the stand-up comedy courses of the Comedyhuis for many years. We believe that stand-up comedy should become a high-quality art form in the Netherlands. That is why we work together with the Comedyhuis to ensure that more and more curious people can get acquainted with one of the best art forms there is.
During the comedy courses, all facets of the life of a stand-up comedian are discussed. How do you come up with and write a good joke, what are ways to improvise on suggestions from the audience, what is the best way to play funny jokes on stage: all these things are covered. From the creative side to the business side, these stand-up comedy courses help novice and advanced comedians on their way!
During this comedy course, you will immerse yourself in the world of comedy one evening a week (from 7:15 pm to 10:00 pm) for seven weeks. You will be trained by our experienced teachers to become a real stand-up comedian.
From the basic theory of comedy (what is a joke?) to the secret tricks of the trade (what do you do when a joke doesn’t work?), everything is explained in this course. You will also be provided with our handy reader full of basic theory about comedy, practical exercises, tips for writer’s block, and wise lessons that the writers have learned over their many years.
The course is concluded with a performance in the Comedyhuis Club.
