Are you looking for a Comedy Writing and Performance course where you’re able to make people experience joy, laughter or cry with happiness? Do you want to develop a portfolio of work that combines creativity with industry awareness? Whatever kind of performer or writer you want to be, this course will equip you with professional training and build your skills across the wide landscape that the study of comedy offers. The course also offers you the opportunity to take the first step in your dream career within the wider comedy industry. 

As you progress through your studies, you’ll become well-versed in a range of genres, including stand-up, physical comedy, radio drama and satire. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain real-world experience of live performance in a range of venues and circuits, from open mic spots to comedy clubs and festivals. Moreover, you’ll study with a group of like-minded comedy fans and will work with -lecturers who combine real-world comedy experience with long-standing teaching and learning expertise. 

What’s more, embarking upon your performance and comedy writing degree means you’ll have access to the creative opportunities the city of Manchester has to offer. You’ll be joining a vibrant community of practising comedy writers and performers, while also getting involved with independent broadcast production companies dedicated to fostering new talent. And at Salford, these opportunities will be available to you long after you complete the course. 

You will:

  • Develop a wide range of skills and techniques in both comedy writing and performance

  • Establish your own comedic ‘voice’ through the guidance of leading academic staff and high-profile industry practitioners
