A weak MC can destroy an otherwise strong line up &#8211; and a good MC can make a mediocre night great!<\/p>\n<p>A good comic isn&#8217;t always a good compere, but a good compere usually becomes a brilliant comic: Eddie Izzard, Dominic Holland, Danny Kitson, Mark Lamarr, Martin Davis and Maff Brown are all industry respected comics who exercised their comedy muscles on a weekly basis at the compering coal face.<\/p>\n<p>There is no better way to turbo- charge your development as a comedian!<\/p>\n<p>Spend the three days with Logan Murray as he gives you the benefit of his knowledge of over two decades of MC&#8217;ing events around the World. From dealing with 3,000 boisterous and\/or hungover people at the Glastonbury Festival Comedy Tent to most of the major clubs in London, let him share with you the tricks he&#8217;s discovered (and warn you about the mistakes he&#8217;s made!).<\/p>\n<p>The sessions will be mainly taken up with a series of practical exercises and games designed to get you to interact better with crowds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about spontaneity, interaction, listening to your audience and charming the pants off them.<\/p>\n<p>Compering is a wonderful, life-long skill in which there is always something new to learn &#8211; but why not hit the ground running by picking up a few tips and techniques that might speed up the process?[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"btn-container text-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketsource.co.uk\/date\/563200\" class=\"btn btn-color\"  >BOOK NOW<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;padder padder-right&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1532343279409{background-color: #3a81f7 !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"title\"><h2 class=\"\"  style=\"color: #ffffff!important\">dates, time, location<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1538604579394{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;maingreenblock&#8221;]<strong>Every Saturday <\/strong>for 3 weeks from Saturday 3rd November 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 1pm &#8211; 5pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a3150.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teacher: <\/strong>Logan Murray.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue: <\/strong>T<span class=\"m_-3200934981744033939gmail-LrzXr\">he Nursery Training Centre, Capital House, 42 Weston Street, London, SE1 3QD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tube:<\/strong> London Bridge.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"btn-container text-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketsource.co.uk\/date\/563200\" class=\"btn btn-light\"  >BOOK NOW<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_id=&#8221;features&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1518448886365{background-color: #23282d !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_id=&#8221;text&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;padder padder-left fcol nogap&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1518450361270{background-color: #23282d !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"title\"><h2 class=\"\"  style=\"color: #ffffff!important\">logan murray<\/h2><\/div>[vc_column_text]Logan has taught Greg Davies, Rhod Gilbert, Josh Widdicombe, Andi Osho, Marek Larwood, Rob Broderick and more.
