Anoushka performed her debut stand-up comedy set after joining Hard Knock Knocks Comedy School’s May comedy course, and as you can see, she absolutely owned the moment.
Sharp, warm and confidently herself, Anoushka quickly connected with the audience. She spent five nights learning the fundamentals of stand-up, from writing jokes and shaping stories to stagecraft, timing and delivery. A particularly special part of the experience was sharing the course with her father, Jitesh, who also took to the stage for his own graduation performance. Watch Jithesh’s set here.
Across the week, Anoushka enjoyed quality time with her dad while getting to know an eclectic group of comedy lovers, all working towards the same terrifying and exhilarating goal: making a room full of strangers laugh. The group also learned from guest comedian Rusty Berther, who brought his own experience and advice to the course.

Our five-night comedy course takes you from writing your very first joke to performing on stage in front of a live audience.
