A Couch to Mic will begin later this month. Over the course of four classes, Oct. 26, Nov. 2, Nov. 9 and Nov. 14 at 7 p.m., at St. Lawrence Arts in Portland, participants will learn how to writer, rehearse and perform comedy with their own, original work. These in-person classes lead up to the final performance on Sunday, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. Students will be coached and guided by Stephanie Lazenby in a supportive and fun environment, where each person can discover and amplify their own comedic voice, culminating in an exciting, live show.

Couch to Mic is an opportunity to take moments from your life and transform them into an empowering comedy experience.
