Two fantastic courses from the Comedy School and SLaM Recovery College, made possible by funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. Build your confidence with other beginners, while having fun!
 
If you'd like to take part in either or both, please choose on of the two taster sessions for each course and let us know (each course has two taster sessions with 16 places on each; then, from the 32 students, 16 will go forward onto the full seven-week course).

Venue:
SHARP Building
308 - 312 Brixton Road
London
SW9 6AA
N.B. The SHARP team are no longer there but everyone in that group of buildings still call it “the SHARP building”.
