Our Place Nashville is partnering with comedian Derrick Tennant and The Lab at Zainies to present six weeks of stand-up comedy classes in July and August.  In these classes, Derrick – a Friendship House resident when he’s not on the road performing – will lead us in comedy classes that will lead to a showcase performance The Lab at Zainies, a comedy space for new talent at the renowned Zainies Nashville, a pillar of laughter and a beacon for comedic talents for over 40 years.

Class participants will learn self-confidence, how to maintain eye contact, how to tell a joke or a story, and practice for performing at a show on August 22.

If you’ve signed up, you are committed to attend the full six-week program as the sessions will build progressively from one class to the next.

For more information contact Carolyn Naifeh. If you or your company would like to become a sponsor of the August 22 show — called JOKABILITY — you can also reach Carolyn at 615-651-0060.
