The class is challenging. It's a bit like English class and a bit like Critical Thinking class, where you have to make sure all the parts of the joke make sense logically and support the premise. Then of course, there's the performance aspect of it. It's all pretty interesting.
One of the most important takeaways from the class so far is the importance of having a strong point of view about a topic. That in itself is challenging because we spend so much of our daily life trying to downplay our feelings or things that we find weird, but Stand Up requires us specifically call up those feelings and thoughts in order to do well.
