SASSY: Single Workshop Ticket

Serious About Stand-Up? Say YES.

Comedy & Cookies — because great standup deserves a great room. Even if it's MY living room.

⚠️ This workshop is designed for ages 16+.

Join one SASSY workshop session and experience the Laugh Lines system firsthand. You'll perform 5 minutes of your material in front of 14 other standup performers, each using the Laugh Lines method to identify exactly what's getting the laughs — usually just one word.

After your set, you'll stay at the mic for live verbal feedback and Q&A from the group. Beverages and baked goods included. By the end of the 3-hour workshop, you'll walk away with 15 different perspectives on your material.

• 15 performers per session
• 3 hours of focused workshopping
• Live feedback using the Laugh Lines system
• 15 audience perspectives on your material
• Beverages & baked goods included 🍪
• All levels welcome

Next session date: TBD — contact us to be added to the waitlist.

About Your Instructor

Stirling Esse is celebrating 12+ years in stand-up. She was the first woman host of one of the longest-running weekly open mics in Boston (2012–2018) at ImprovBoston, which had been running consistently for almost 3 decades. She has appeared on Stories to the Stage on WGBH, was a founding member of the 50+ improv group Elderberry Jam, and has been co-host of the March Madness Comedy Contest — a fundraiser for the Brain & Behavioral Research Foundation — for several years running its 20th year in 2026.

Stirling didn't just take a class. She worked her way through every level, got a job working shows, and started hosting. Now she's built a system — Laugh Lines — to help you do the same.
