Two-day intensive skills training with actor and NIDA trainer Jamie Harding

Want to improve your stand-up skills and explore some new ways to make people laugh louder and longer?

This two-day course is led by Jamie "JJ" Harding, an actor and stand-up comedian for over a decade. Jamie has been delivering a similar course for the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) in Sydney over the past few months, while developing a strong fanbase for his own show – and now he’s snagged a place in the Celebrity Comedy Debate, working alongside Australia’s top comedians.

Jamie’s Career So Far

Jamie has worked all over Australia and Asia in theatre and comedy. He is currently following in the footsteps of Carl Barron and Judith Lucy to open for Bob Downe, one of Australia’s most loved comic creations (created by Mark Trevorrow) for audiences of 1,000 in Sydney’s most prestigious venues.

In Adelaide, Jamie worked with State Theatre Company, nominating for the prestigious Critics’ Circle Award and in 2008 winning the ‘Advertiser Best Actor’ award. His television credits include the ABC series ‘Rain Shadow’ and the hit channel 9 series ‘McLeod's Daughters’. His Stage Credits include the State Theatre Company's production of ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’. He featured in the production ‘The Real Thing’ and was seen recently in the Brink Productions Gorge in 09.

In demand as a Corporate Comedy Performer and Master of Ceremonies, Jamie’s clients include Belfinger Berger, Frucor, V Energy Drink, Star Mission, Royal Society for the Blind and many more.

Here are some of the rave reviews from his latest Comedy Course at NIDA:

~"We wished we had him for longer. He covered lots of ground over 2 days"

~"The course was fantastic"

~"Jamie was excellent at helping and counselling some of us who had more trouble to come up with jokes. No one felt left out and the big finale which was our own stand up performance became almost natural and not so scary anymore."

~"The only thing missing would be a longer course with him because he had so much insight to give."

~"A perfect wrap up by a stand up professional"
