Training Stand-Up Comics Since 2018
At Copenhagen Comedy Academy, we’ve transformed Stand-Up Comedy into a science. Our students master the ‘Notes of Comedy’, a logical formula for creating their own stand-up routines. We also offer Teambuilding Services for corporations in the Copenhagen area. Our diverse group of comedians, known as our ‘Talent Pool’, are available to liven up your next event!
Copenhagen Comedy Academy was founded by Christine Anne Goertz, who transitioned from engineering to becoming a romance-adventure novelist. Christine immersed herself in the Los Angeles acting scene for ten years. She was trained by The Groundlings Sketch Comedy Program, performed improv all over the city, wrote for sketch comedy shows at IOWest, and later pursued dramatic acting after training at the Baron Brown Studio.
CCA has a dual purpose: to cultivate clear, concise thought and to teach students to spread joy through humor. We introduce the ‘Notes of Comedy,’ where, much like a guitarist selects chords to craft a melody, a comedian chooses from various comedic structures to develop their routine. While our main emphasis is on writing, we also incorporate Linklater Voicework and Meisner Techniques to enhance students’ stage presence and foster a connection with the audience.
We offer a six week Stand-Up Comedy Class suitable for both beginner’s and those who have had prior open mic experience. Students will write and perform a five-minute set for friends and family at their very own showcase at Knock Knock Comedy Club.
The class is taught in English, but the set can be performed in Danish.
The focus of the class will be to teach students the Notes of Comedy. We will work to perfect the student’s writing skills so that their comedy sets are clean, logical and cohesive.
We also dive into Linklater voicework to improve your stage voice. Meisner Acting principles are utilized to help the performer build a positive relationship with the audience.
There will be guest teachers who will help perfect your set and answer any questions you may have on Stand-Up Comedy.
Classes are held at Knock Knock Comedy Club, in the center of Copenhagen.
