Life After Comedy Graduation
Oftentimes, people graduate from their training at Dallas Comedy House and find themselves asking, "What's next?"
Graduation isn't the end of your journey, it's just the beginning.

Comedy is a soft skill, so you can never truly master it.
Do More
The two best ways to continue to become a better comedian are to do more and see more. Doing more means performing more! You have to fail on stage to learn how to succeed. Take advantage of the performance opportunites at DCH.
Need to find a coach? Start by making a list of people you'd like to use. Ask your group for some suggestions. Think of people who inspire or impress you, or anyone you think you'd like to learn from. Maybe it's a former teacher, or a performer you think is the bees knees!
You can reach out to them personally and just ask! It's as simple as that. They will let you know their coaching fees. Some coaches charge per person, others charge per hour or per session.
Need to rent a room? We have both one-off and recurring rentals available. For rates and availability, email Beth Yankuner (beth@dallascomedyhouse.com).

Graduates who decide not to immediately continue their education through advanced study or sketch writing can purchase a Graduate Pass. A Graduate Pass is the same as a Student ID, and will grant you admission to most shows.
Graduate Passes will be available again in 2020.
