WORLD PREMIERE
MY LIFE OVER THE YEARS STANDUP COMEDY ONLINE SHOW
Yes, I was born funny according to my father and at Sheridan College, I realized that my slapstick comedy work with one other person was very good as well as improv and sketch work especially unscripted with the right calibre of funny people to work with. I have done a little bit of classes at Second City as well. I will start out with online showing and will consider doing live shows at a more non Covid time as we may not have live even in 2021 https://wendybelcourt.com SOLO SHOW, SPOKEN WORD DATES:

The Centre for Comedy Studies Research and Big Difference Company present
ONLY JOKING? COMEDY AND COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to lots of comedy about the virus. From memes to TikTok videos we are sharing COVID-19 comedy. What are the reasons for this? What is the content of COVID-19 comedy? How does this compare to jokes told during other crises? These questions will be discussed by Sharon Lockyer (Director, Centre for Comedy Studies Research). Please bring along your best COVID-19 joke if you have one! DISCUSSION DATES:
