Birmingham Rep, in collaboration with Birmingham LGBT Centre have created a safe space for members of the LGBTQ+ community to develop comedy and public speaking skills with their brand-new project LGBTQTeeHee!
Taking place across 10-weeks, this innovative programme is supported by professional comedians, such as renowned comedian, educator and comedy coach Angie Belcher who will work with successful applicants to develop their comedic writing skills, develop a comedy persona, and hone their craft and material into creating a routine which will be performed live at the Birmingham Rep this November.
LGBTQTeeHee! is open to anyone from the LGBTQ+ community and will take place at Birmingham Rep and Birmingham LGBT Centre aspart of BEDLAM Showcase, a celebration of the arts, mental health and wellbeing.
Birmingham Rep Senior Drama Practitioner, Robert Beck, said: “Through comedy, we hope to build mental health resilience, reduce stigma and encourage honest discussions around mental health in a fun and supportive environment.”
The Birmingham Rep will be hosting a free Comedy Masterclass on Sat 3rd Aug, 12pm – 4.30pm at Birmingham LGBT Centre. All are welcome to attend and learn more about the project and begin the process of creating their own stand-up comedy routine.
