Learning Stand-Up at Home

Sandi C. Shore has been teaching comedy classes for 10 years, and now she brings that knowledge home in “Sandi C. Shore’s Sandbox: A Stand-Up Comedy Workshop Home Study Course.”

The kit is not just for aspiring comedians; it’s for anybody who wants to tone his or her creative muscles, Shore says. The course takes about eight weeks to complete (or you can go at your own pace), includes a workbook of exercises to help define a comic attitude, develop one-liners and more. Audio and videotapes provide added instruction, and there’s a daily workout journal to record progress. Shore also includes a video interview with brother Pauly answering questions from new comedians. Cost: $165 at https://www.amazon.com or by calling (800) 837-9351.
