One Day Workshop: "How to Get an Agent"
Saturday, February 11th @ noon!
An agent is one of the most important people to have in your corner at certain stages of your comedy career, yet it's also one of the most misunderstood positions in the entertainment business. In this special workshop taught by
veteran agent
Mark Scroggs
(Director of Theatrical Talent for
Prestige Talent Agency and theatrical agent for multiple comedians including
DJ Demers,
Drew Lynch and
Julian Fernandez
), we lift the curtain on exactly why you need an agent... and how to get one!
Understanding how representation fits into your business plan is crucial:
- How does one go about attracting an agent?
- What exactly does an agent do for you?
- What are the different types of agents, and what's the difference between an agent and a manager?
- What makes an agent decide who to represent and who to pass on?
- When is the right time to try to find an agent, and how do I keep them once I have them?
If you find yourself asking these questions... this is one workshop that is not to be missed! This intense 3-hour workshop is aimed specifically at comedians looking to advance their careers; we'll discuss how to attract the best agents for your situation, who to submit to, what questions to ask and how best to present yourself in agent meetings to make sure you come off as a pro!
Seating is VERY limited - don't miss this unique opportunity

ONE DAY WORKSHOP: "How to Be a Better Emcee"
Saturday, January 28th @ noon!
 A show emcee or host is an integral part of the success or failure of a stand up show. An emcee is responsible for keeping the energy up in the room, connecting with the crowd and getting them excited about each comic that comes to the stage. It's a highly sought-after position, and one that clubs take very seriously when booking! Flappers University's popular How to Be a Better Emcee workshop will help you unlock the secrets to becoming a working emcee at shows of all types - including booking emcee work at Flappers itself! In this intensive workshop, taught by Joshua Snyder (in-house Flappers emcee and Sales & Marketing Director for Flappers Comedy Clubs) and guest instructor Crystal Charee (one of the in-house bookers for Flappers), you'll learn how to choose appropriate material for hosting, how to control the flow of a show, the specific rules and "house work" expected of an emcee by the club, the biggest mistakes made by novice emcees, and more!
Seating is limited; reserve your seat now!
