Fantastic experience.  I went to this course with no confidence of stand up or speaking with other people. It took me out of my comfort zone and as weeks went on I felt more confident to stand up and make people laugh. The showcase event was brilliant and I enjoyed every minute of it. Maria was a fantastic course leader and I have learned so much"

'I was put into a room with men, all going through their own personal issues.  We learned comedy together, how to use issues to make content.  How to come up with our own superpower and we talked in a safe space. Maria put together a really empowering training, with lots of activities to get us used to talking in front of everyone. I spoke openly about my journey, my male infertility and going through IVF and I made a sensitive topic, 'funny'.  I missed the penultimate session because I was scared about performing, but I didn't want to miss the showcase because I wanted to support my peers.  Eventually I told myself I was going to be there to support themm, that they would be supporting me and I should do it.  Wow!! I am so glad I did.  What a rush, what a feeling and what a sense of achievement. Speaking about my journey and making it light hearted in front of 40/50 people was easier than telling my dad and my brother about my issue.  I'll never forget it and I'll find speaking up much easier'
