Comedy Kids
Do you enjoy watching comedy? Do all your friends at school think
you tell great jokes? Then why not come and see what’s happening
at Comedy Kids ?

Comedy Kids own comedy clubs in several countries that are run
just for young people aged 10-15. They’re real clubs with real
comedians, who are just as familiar with working in adult comedy
clubs as they are working with children. But don’t take our word for
it – come and see for yourself!

The Comedy Kids company was set up by John Winterton, who says that no-one had thought of
being a stand-up comedian for young people until he came along. In fact, his act quickly became so
popular that he soon found lots of other comedians who wanted to join his company and perform for
families and young people. And if you think, as many others do, that a young people’s comedian
leaps on stage in a brightly-coloured costume and big red nose – think again. John usually appears
dressed in a cool black jacket and trousers – more like a Hollywood movie star than a circus clown!

If you’re having a party at home Comedy Kids can come and perform for you there at your party –
just ask! Of course, it’s not the same as performing on stage, so we’re always looking for comedians
in the clubs who are good at working with small numbers of young people – and we’ve discovered
there aren’t many of them about! But the ones we have found are brilliant. Your very own
comedian will also help you to tell your guests some jokes and silly stories – and they can join in
too, if they want! It’ll be fun – and very different from any party you’ve ever had before!

Here at Comedy Kids, it’s not just about the adults telling the jokes. We also have very short ‘open
spots’ where young people get the chance to perf orm. But we’ve yet to find someone who can do
that without preparation, so we’ve set up the world’s first ‘Comedy Classes’to teach young people
how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we’re planning to start a
number of others over the coming year. So if you want to be a comedian but don’t want to wait until
you grow up, this is where you can do it. And if you’re creative but feel you’re lacking in the
confidence to speak up, we can certainly help. We’ll listen to what you want to do, and try to make
it happen.

So what are you waiting for? Come and join Comedy Kids !
