The Comedy Festival commits to its national education program as a priority, motivated by an enthusiastic respect for young people’s creative ideas and a keen desire to introduce them to the active mainstream of comedy practice.
Furthermore, the Festival understands how comedy, as an inherently individual, independent and intelligent medium can benefit the social and personal development of young people at a critical stage of their growing up.
Class Clowns, our national secondary school comedy competition, sits as our education flagship, and is supported by teachers’ notes and resources, including year-round developmental and professional workshops.
