Glow up the Stage (GUTS)

Have the GUTS to level up! This workshop helps female and female-identifying comedians with prepared 5-minute stand-up sets, gain confidence, and find their authentic comedic selves.

Taught by Mary Gallagher and her teammate in comedy, Stacy Dymalski, and is by invitation only.

Sundays 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

  • Our goal is to provide you with the tools to step out of who you think you should be so that you can feel into who you truly are.

  • We’ve created a safe space to help females craft their stand-up comedy and writing in a way that reflects their true and authentic selves.

  • Every participant in the workshop will perform five minutes of their stand-up and will receive 10-15 minutes of feedback from both Stacy and Mary.
