We Are Funny Project

We Are Funny Project began as a place to explore the craft of stand up comedy and help comedians develop stronger material, confidence and stage presence.

That work continues. Through courses, coaching and resources we still support comedians who want to sharpen their thinking, writing and delivery.

Over time something else became clear.

The skills comedians develop through live performance are not only useful on stage. They are powerful communication tools that translate surprisingly well into the working world.

Stand up teaches people how to:

• think creatively and generate original ideas
• manage nerves under pressure
• establish fast rapport with an audience
• read the room and adjust in real time
• use body language, voice and timing effectively
• hold attention and make ideas memorable

And sometimes something even more valuable than laughter appears.

Levity.

The ability to bring perspective, lighten the atmosphere and help people reconnect when pressure or fatigue builds.

Because of this, We Are Funny Project now also works with agency and creative teams who want to communicate ideas more clearly in high stakes situations. Pitches. Client presentations. Important conversations where the thinking is strong but the delivery can wobble.

So today there are two strands to the work.

• support and education for comedians
• workshops for agency teams focused on storytelling, confidence and communication

Different audiences. The same powerful skill set.

If you are a comedian, you are still very much in the right place.

And if you work in a creative team or agency environment and want your ideas to land more effectively, you may find some of the thinking here useful too.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
