I liked that you said that participating in comedy can help you to form relationships. I would imagine that this would be one way that you could get to know new people and bond over something that you have in common. I would consider taking comedy classes to make new friends.

These are some really great benefits; after all, anyone can just joke around with their friends, but there are some things you can only get from taking a class. As the article points out though, one of the biggest things you can gain from taking one of these classes is networking. If you’re going to get serious about becoming a comedian, then you want to gather a network of people you can practice and write routines with for your career.

Taking a standup comedy class had several benefits. First, the class “graduation” was at the Improv… 5 minutes of mic time in a real club with a 250 person audience. It was frightening for a first timer, to say the least. Two, because of the class, I went looking for support and found Killer Stand Up and this forum/website. Simply, one thing led to the other. The Improv experience was positive. I got some laughs and learned a lot about myself. But that time whetted my appetite for more. Since then, I have been applying Killer Stand Up techniques and tips. I have been getting 10 to 20 minute sets at service clubs and am having a great time. My instructor once booked for the NYC Improv and did stand up at one time. His insights were right on. I have recommended both the class and Killer Stand Up to friends who have said, “Geez, if you can do that, I’ll bet I can do that.”
