Mahwah, NJ – A Comedy Workshop will be held on six Wednesday evenings, 7-9 p.m., starting January 30, 2013 on the Ramapo College campus, Room ASB-522. Registration for the workshop is now open at www.ramapo.edu/cipl/workshops/comedy.html.

In the workshop, Boyce presents to her students the proven methods for making people laugh and how to create personal comedic routines from everyday life experiences. Students study other working comedians’ styles, discover how to harvest their own comedy material, and practice developing their own comic voice. The workshop includes a combination of writing and performing exercises designed to turn everyday observations into punch lines.  Techniques covered include comparisons, similes, mimicking, list making, and more. Family and friends are invited to a final day performance.

Boyce has been a part of the comedy scene for more than 20 years, first as a comedian, then as a producer, promoter, and publicist, and now as an agent.  Many of Boyce’s students have been featured in comedy clubs and festivals in the New York metropolitan area, including Stand-Up New York, Gotham Comedy Club and The Improv.  She is the creator and producer of the Ladies of Laughter and Lower Hud’s Funniest series.

Registration fees are $295. Registration is completed online. For more information about the Comedy Workshop, please visit www.ramapo.edu/cipl/workshops/comedy.html, or call the Ramapo College Center for Innovative and Professional Learning at (201) 684-7370.
