The seminar will be taught by Kevin Wheeler, the club&#8217;s long-serving room manager. Kevin, if you didn&#8217;t know, is also a successful comedian with sixteen years of experience who has shared the stage with such comedy luminaries as Howie Mandel, Kevin James, and Lewis Black. The fee for the seminar is $25.00.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin will show you the ins and outs of the job, and since he&#8217;s the guy who picks the emcee and the list for the Wednesday open mike show, him having a familiarity with you and your act should pay dividends down the road. While I don&#8217;t believe that a &#8220;comedy class&#8221; is really necessary to break into stand-up comedy, this is something different. Think of this as advanced training to become an specialist. The emcee position isn&#8217;t one that&#8217;s often coveted, but its a paying, entry-level job in comedy &#8211; and this is a time when ANY paying job in comedy is hard to come by. If you want to work at the Comedy Castle, consider this a foot (or a hand or a leg) in the door.<\/p>\n<p>To register, call the Comedy Castle at 248-542-9900 or for more info or go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comedycastle.com\/\">ComedyCastle.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This Saturday, July 23rd, The Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, Michigan will be presenting a seminar for potential emcees from 12:30 to 2:30 PM.
