Trevor Lock has been working the English comedy circuit for over 20 years and has developed a brand of spontaneous stand-up--mixing cleverly crafted wordplay with stream of consciousness improvisation, true stories, one-liners and wild flights of fancy—has gained him a worldwide cult following: no two shows are the same.
He has been an Edinburgh Fringe regular for 19 years!!!

Crowd Work in Stand Up Comedy
This workshop explores the comic’s art of setting aside scripted bits and interacting with
a crowd. It’s about how to be fully “in the moment,” even on stage, in front of strangers,
to find what’s funny and bring an audience along for a laugh.
The workshop begins by moving through some exercises in improvisation and self-
presentation. Participants practice generating original points of view, and unfolding
them in ways that accentuate cognitive dissonance, the essence of funny. They learn to
work with comedic personae, and to work through the difficulties, the nerves and the
nay-sayers. Stories are built and broken down on the fly, with only what the audience
offers. Until, finally, the workshop culminates in a spontaneous unscripted performance.
Places limited to 12
Where: Lambicus
When: Friday Nov 12 - 7 - 10pm
