What Is Al Hezb El Comedy Academy?

In the past decade, Al Hezb El Comedy has been on the forefront of the stand up comedy industry in Egypt, organizing over hundreds shows, attracting thousands of audience members to enjoy great nights of comedy across Egypt, UAE, London and Edinburgh. Being dubbed as “Egypt’s first comedy factory” by CNN in 2013 has made us realize that the next step in developing the industry is to teach the art of stand up comedy in the most professional atmosphere that invites creativity and passion. With a diverse and extensive curriculum, we invite anyone to join our classes that want to learn the fundamentals of stand up comedy all the way to advanced techniques that will help you get your start in performing.


Enroll now for our third class starting on Sunday May 26th, 2024 at The Golden Theatre. Housed inside Dandy Mall, this little gem is a fully operational theatre that also doubles as company that produces all different types of workshops for aspiring actors and theatre starting from an early age. This is where we chose to conduct our classes to give the students at a true feeling of being on stage.

What Will You Learn?

Stand up comedy is a very definitive art form. It is unlike any other art form because you are the center of the audience. You are the writer, director, producer, and actor. It’s only you and the microphone and the audience. There is much to learn and if you have a funny bone, you’ve come to the right place.

Below is the extensive six-week program which you will be learning everything from the fundamentals of stand up comedy to its history, to all the way to crafting “Your First Five” minutes in week 6.
