Learn to perform, express yourself, and connect with others through comedy.
Hello, I’m Pat Welsh.
I teach performance skills and build confidence through comedy, with over 30 years of experience teaching at university level and in community settings. I have written and led a comedy degree, directed numerous productions, and trained performers for live, large-scale events including Glastonbury and Dismaland.
I use improv, sketch, and stand-up in a practical, supportive environment.
Whether you want to build confidence, step into performance, or kickstart a comedy career, I’ll help you get up and do it.
3 WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
PERFORMANCE CLUB
A great place to start.
Work collaboratively with stand up, improv, character, and sketch in a relaxed, supportive space where you build confidence by taking part.
No experience needed. Just turn up and get involved.
A stepping-stone towards performing in a full-scale production.
“A safe, supportive and genuinely enjoyable environment where you can take risks, develop ideas, and grow as a performer.”
— George B
PRODUCTIONS
Put it into practice.
Join a production and perform in front of a live audience.
From pantomime to sketch shows and immersive theatre, this is where it all comes together.
“I genuinely think everyone should do a course like this — it builds confidence and pushes you out of your comfort zone, without having to jump off a physical cliff!”
— Josie Jo
STAND UP WITH ATTITUDE
Write and perform your own stand-up routine with ‘Attitude’. Based on the course and accompanying book by Tony Allen, Attitude – wanna make something of it?
Learn to connect, respond, and play with this audience, now.
You’ll build towards a live showcase in front of friends and family.
“With Pat’s guidance, I went from building confidence to performing my own stand-up routine in front of 200 people — and getting real laughs.”
