Funny Side Up:
Boost Your Narratives With Humor
With Lauren LoGiudice
For misfits at every stage…
…WHO WANT TO GO FROM BORING TALES TO SIDE-SPLITTING SAGAS
This dynamic online class is a unique opportunity to learn how to inject humor into your written and performed stories, on stage or at the dinner table.
Welcoming all skill levels and experience.
You’ve lived a life.
And have tales to tell.
But how do you get people to listen?
With humor!
Now’s the time to make yourself heard!
I know what it’s like…
…to have a unique life experience, yet you’re unsure how to best impart it. This was me ten years ago, feeling like I wasn’t able to fully communicate. Being a relentless learner, I hit the road to study with some of the funniest people in the world, including at Groundlings, Second City, and at a clown school in France.
I used those tools to write an Amazon Kindle bestselling humor book, do standup at comedy clubs, and elevate my social media with my unique brand of heartwarming irreverent comedy. My intent is to bring you the essence of what I know in easy-to-use steps that you can use regardless of skill level. I will meet you where you’re at, because I know how important these stories are to you.

“This is the kind of teacher you want if you want to write comedy (or at least find ways to tease humor out of your latest obsession). I was baking up serious essays by day and wanted to use this class to leaven them with a little brightness. It worked. Lauren not only helped me find the sweet spot: being vulnerable and passionate while being funny, but also gave us exercises to jumpstart our thinking, inspire our comedy writing, and hone our delivery. She is compassionate but honest, astute and FUNNY! Even just listening in would have been worth it but you’ll be inspired to do the classwork too.”

“Lauren's book returned me to the essential power and joy of good comedy." - Ritch Shydner, author of Kicking Through The Ashes - My Life As A Stand-up in the 1980’s
“LoGiudice weaves a multi-character story of stretching the boundaries of family, culture, and gender.” -Kate Bornstein, icon, author, Hello Cruel World
"Lauren's story may be nontraditional, but it's her 'traditional' family's point of view that gives this show such life...a fascinating story made most memorable by the characters she brings to tell it." – Pat McCorkle, Emmy Award-Winning Casting Director
"I've been a professional actor, comedian, impersonator since 1988, I’ve met a lot of impersonators since then and very few have a combination of talent, presence, comedic timing, the desire to create and the ability to nail a voice like Lauren. When she performs she is firing on all cylinders. Lauren and I hold ourselves to a high standard. Good is NOT good enough. Lauren is one of the few performers who shares my work ethic and you can see it in all of her amazing work." - John Di Domenico, Emmy Award Nominated Actor, Writer, Comedian, and Impersonator, Conan O’Brien
