062: Nadine Sparks - From improv to stand-up comedy

Nadine Sparks loves learning comedy. At aged 12 she began
learning improvisation comedy, including a course at 18 at the
highly respected NIDA, then performing with Improv Conspiracy,
before travelling to the US to learn the Chicago method. And then
seven years ago Nadine did a stand-up comedy course, and this
resulted in her first five-minute performance at the Exford
Hotel. Since then she's performed for five seasons at the
Melbourne International Comedy Festival, as well as other
festivals around Australia.


In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast Nadine takes us deep
into the world of Improv, or impro, where you'll learn about the
'Harold' structure in long-form improvisation theatre, her new
gang The Tickle Pit, how a dose of improv can help build
confidence for stand-up comedians, and the pros and cons of
swearing.


And now, here's Nadine Sparks.
