Reviews
I’m honoured to say that the course with Angie was the best thing that I’ve ever done, she gave us all the tools, encouraging advice, and confidence to do something that was, for me a lifelong goal and she helped us achieve something that I don’t think we knew we had in us. You can go to the gym and train but if you don’t have the right guidance you’ll hurt and embarrass yourself. She was our shield and strength from hurt and embarrassment and I would strongly advise ANYONE to take the course because the benefits will reach every area if your life. Thank you Angie x
I did a 6 week course with Angie which ended in a 5-minute showcase performance that I never thought I would achieve. In short, Angie is a blaaaaady legend! I can’t thank her enough for creating such a supportive and empowering space to start out in the comedic world. Not only is she hilarious herself, but her teaching style, devices, and feedback were always so thought-provoking and encouraging. She believed in me at times when I didn’t believe I could do it, but I’ve now achieved a long-lived dream of mine. I’ll be forever grateful for that and will feel forever privileged to have learnt from Angie! If you’re ummin’ and arrin’ over attempting stand-up, but want some support, Angie is abso-bloody-lutely the guide you need to get you there!
Angie stripped back my arrogance in a very kind and friendly way and helped me find a comedy style I was really comfortable with. She introduced me to comic devices in away I found really easy to access. Such a fabulous, genuine person.
Angie is a comedic force of nature - she's funny, insightful and an excellent teacher. Couldn't have asked for a better guide into the world of comedy. She created a space that allowed me to feel comfortable with being uncomfortable. I gained so much more than just a 5 minute. Angie, you're a blaaaady legend
Angie created such an indepth experience that took us right into the heart of StandUp while also exploring and stretching who we are in the world. Angie was fun, safe, reassuring, super informed and I left wanting more !
Did a 10 week comedy course with Angie which culminated in a showcase where I performed a 5-minute stand-up set at the Comedy store! Angie was very supportive throughout the course and attentive to each attendee - she taught us about different comedic devices and how we could implement these in our own routines, using our own material. We were also given guidance on how we could improve our material! Absolute blessing to have Angie teaching me, esp. with her experience and insights to the comedy - would love to work with her again!
I awarded Angie 5 out of 5 for her comedy course. She told me she would give me a big hug if I said that. LOL, actually, that was a joke. I have become a serial joker since I enrolled on this course and more confident to take risks even if I sometimes fail. I must also recommend Angie's hugs. She is lush and a great teacher.
In a nutshell “Transformative”. I joined this course to explore and heal from past and current trauma. Consequently, I have acquired new techniques and coping skills to deal with stressors in my life. One of my objectives was to be able to release natural serotonin, dopamine and melatonin and to simply feel happy again. I feel Angie’s stand-up comedy course has exceeded my objectives. In addition, the course has improved my overall well-being and resilience in my life. Angie and her team provide a supportive, collaborative and cohesive learning environment. I am truly grateful to be acquainted with Angie. Lastly I feel sorry for all the pharmacies across the country as they would be out of business if the NHS were to prescribe Angie’s stand-up comedy course including the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 😂
Too good to do it justice in this box.
Ten amazing weeks followed by the performance of a life time
I'm a changed man!

I've spent the last 6 weeks getting these 17 lovely people from Couch to Comedy. They totally smashed their showcase last night and I'm utterly proud of them all.

Lovely afternoon teaching comedy to Armed Forces Veterens.🤣 Hey Bravos,
One of the joys of being part of Bravo 22 is chuckles and smiles we get to share along the way! So it is a pleasure to introduce our latest creative in our MEET THE CREATIVE series, ANGIE BELCHER, who will be leading our upcoming Intro To Comedy session.
Angie Belcher is a comedy pioneer, whose career has evolved from stand up, acting and performing to award-winning work as a coach and trainer, teaching comedy to CEO’s and staff at major organisations and delivering ground-breaking workshops through the NHS.
Angie is course leader for stand -up comedy on Circomedia’s BA course in Contemporary Performing Arts, Writer in Residence for First Story, Associate Lecturer in Comedy Writing at the University of Worcester and Comedian in Academic Residence at the University of Bristol. The Hague awarded her World Comedian of Emancipation 2022.
We’re so excited for Angie to help the Intro to comedy participants find the funny in life. Using practical exercises, writing games, psychological theories, and solo writing time to help write and perform with the gravitas of a pro! 🤣
Bring on the laughs!

Sooooo proud of my awesome Circomedia students who did their stand up comedy module assessment showcase today.
They were not only funny, but managed to bring rape, suicide, and grief to the stage in a magically humorous way but also with compassion and gravitas, which for a first time set is brave and risky.
And they totally smashed the ass out if it.
I love working with young people, I learn so much about empathy, kindness and humanity from them.
Miss 'em already ... See MoreSee Less

My new audio play is ready for your ears!
Walking with Toddlers' is a comic audio play about the joys and frustrations of going for a walk with a pre-schooler as a mother, co-written and co-produced by Angie Belcher (writer, director, comedian, and facilitator) and Eleanor Rycroft (Senior Lecturer in Theatre and gender historian). It uses the juxtaposition of an idealised walk imagined via 'Minarra's Mindful Mummies Podcast' and the reality of walking with a toddler, to consider how care-giving can provide both obstructions and opportunities when trying to get from A to B.

Minarra - Trish Ferguson-Jay
