<h3>Finding your Comic Genius: A Masterclass with Adam Bloom</h3>Adam Bloom is a multi-award-winning comedian and ghostwriter with over 30 years' experience in comedy. In September 2023, he released the groundbreaking book, ‘Finding Your Comic Genius’. It has since proven to be the first ever truly advanced book on stand-up comedy. Within a year it reached #1 best-seller in the category of ‘Stagecraft’ in the U.K, the U.S, Canada &amp; Australia. Adam has hosted over 60 book masterclasses in 13 different countries across Europe &amp; Asia as well as virtual ones in the U.S, Canada &amp; China. <h4>What to Expect</h4>The masterclasses are in the form of a Q&amp;A that lasts from 11am-6pm (including breaks). The outcome is that comedians of all experiences walk away with a much deeper understanding of Adam’s methods and theories on writing and performing stand-up.It’s highly recommended that you purchase a copy of this book in advance of the workshop, which you can also get Adam to sign for you!
