Riffing Class with Joe Klocek: Saturday August 13

Headlining comedian Joe Klocek is one of the best riffers out there, and he can show you how to riff too! Rooster T. Feathers is proud to present Riffing: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques; a class for any comedian who wants to be more comfortable going off script.

"Not only is Joe a master of being funny on his feet, but he is also a great teacher who provides an entertaining, and customized, learning experience. Taking his class significantly increased my audience interaction and enabled me to further develop the quality and professionalism of my act." -Duncan Riach

"Joe has an amazing ability to make everyone he interacts with feel comfortable. When you take this class, you will be EXCITED and looking forward to the next opportunity you can riff. Even better, you will be excited to start showing audiences who you really are." -Sandy Stec

Riffing: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques

Riffing. You have all seen it. The comic says something perfect in the moment and kills harder than their best written joke. It is an incredible feeling for the audience and the comic. These moments don’t have to be random. There are simple tools every comic can learn, apply and use to stand out in a show. Riffing is the most important tool to have for live performance.
