This course is led by a professional stand up comedian with years of experience.
Sidney Smith is a nationally touring stand-up comedian, filmmaker, and podcast host, best known for his sharp, relatable humor and commanding stage presence. His breakout YouTube special Misunderstood premiered in 2024 and has since racked up over 210,000 views, earning praise for its mix of personal storytelling and social commentary.
Sidney has performed at premier comedy clubs across the country — including The Improv, Stand Up Live, Helium, and The Comedy Store — and has shared the stage with heavyweights like Whitney Cummings, David Spade, Russell Peters, and Damon Wayans. He’s also a Mic Drop Mania regular, where he’ll film two brand-new specials this November.
As the creator of multiple podcasts and a rising voice in indie film, Sidney brings a modern, real-world perspective to comedy that extends beyond the stage. In this 6-week course, he shares the fundamentals of writing, performing, and refining stand-up — with an emphasis on structure, honesty, and stage presence.
Sidney takes this profession seriously and believes every new comic should understand both the craft and the responsibility that comes with the mic. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to level up, this class offers a no-nonsense, supportive path forward.
This class meets each week on Saturdays from 12pm-1:30pm beginning May 24. The classes will take place on the following dates May 24, May 31, June 7, June 14, June 21, June 28, then a make-up class July 12.
