Furman Theatre brings comedian Jim David to do Workshops, One Man Show!

2007-03-09T16:45:00.000-05:00

Are you the next Robin Williams? A standup comedian with unlimited potential for stage, TV, and film work?

Lets Find Out!

Come to Jim David's workshop:

Creating Comic Characters

Mon - Wed, March 12-14th, from 3:00-5:00 pm in The Playhouse.

Jim has asked that you bring something to work on - some bit of stand-up, a character, a monologue, a sketch, an idea, a character based improv game, a bit of a play you've written, etc.

About Jim David
A 1976 Furman grad, Jim has now spent 30 years in show business, so he really knows what he's teaching.

Jim has appeared in a Broadway musical and done lots of TV spots like Colin Quinn's TOUGH CROWD as well as his own, frequently replayed, half hour special, both on Comedy Central.

He has also appeared on ABC's THE VIEW, Comedy Central's COMIC CABANA, NEW JOKE CITY with Robert Klein, NBC COMEDY SHOWCASE with Louie Anderson, A&E's CAROLINE'S and EVENING AT THE IMPROV, MTV 1/2 HOUR COMEDY HOUR, VH1's FOOLS FOR LOVE, SHOWTIME COMEDY CLUB NETWORK, DATELINE NBC, STAR SEARCH, LAST CALL, SPOTLIGHT CAFE, USA LIVE, and others.

He performed on Comedy Central's FRIARS CLUB ROAST OF ROB REINER and hosted the backstage interviews of Comedy Central's FRIARS CLUB ROAST OF HUGH HEFNER.

A headliner across the world, he can be heard on his CDs, EAT HERE AND GET GAS (2000) and LIVE FROM JIMVILLE (2003).
