We’re not saying Comedy Camp is magic. (Okay, maybe a little.) But there’s a reason it’s become a must-do for comics across California, Arizona, and now Texas. Broken Drift’s quarterly camps are shortcuts—not because they skip the hard work, but because they pack six months of insider knowledge, networking, and branding strategy into one weekend.

You’ve been doing comedy for five years. You’ve got a tight 20. You’ve been paid—like, actual money! And now you think you’ve “figured it out.” Spoiler: you haven’t. Comedy doesn’t reward stagnation. It punishes it—quietly, brutally, and with fewer and fewer bookings. You want to keep climbing? Keep learning. At Broken Drift, continuing education isn’t

You might think you’re funnier than every other comic on the lineup—and you might be. But if no one likes working with you, your talent will hit a ceiling. Collaboration isn’t just about creative partnerships; it’s about building your reputationin an industry that’s incredibly small once you’re in it. At Mic Drop, we see firsthand

Sure, we all want that perfect club setup: hot crowd, great lighting, a low ceiling, and a check spot that magically disappears. But that’s not real life. Real life is doing comedy under a tent at a corporate mixer during daylight hours, or in a dive bar while a guy plays pool six feet from

There’s a moment every comic dreads: you’ve just delivered your cleanest setup, the room is with you—and then it happens. A drunk voice in the crowd yells, “TELL A JOKE!” The table next to them giggles, your timing’s shot, and suddenly you’re deciding between a sharp comeback or pretending it didn’t happen. Either way, the

You posted a clip. You were confident. The crowd laughed. You said something mildly clever to a bachelorette party in the front row. So why isn’t your inbox full of club offers and blue checkmarks? Because “just posting the set” isn’t the same as creating engaging content. At Mic Drop and Broken Drift, we teach

We need to talk about the “professionalism gap.” You know, the one where you show up to a paid gig 10 minutes late with no headshot, a busted thumb drive, and a bio written like a dating app? That gap? It’s what separates talented comics from working ones. And if you don’t close it, you’ll

Social media can feel like a chore—especially when you’d rather be writing jokes or actually performing them. But in 2025, your Instagram is your flyer, your demo reel, your brand, and sometimes your first impression with a club owner who hasn’t seen you live yet. That’s where Megan McConnell comes in. As the Social Media

There’s a weird stigma in stand-up that once you’ve done a few festivals or hosted a weekend, you’re too cool to sit through a workshop. But at every Big Pine and Broken Drift camp, we see something wild: the best comics in the room are often the ones asking questions. And guess what? They’re also

Let’s be real: your friend’s iPhone clip of you under a neon beer sign is not helping your career. You need professional visuals—and Shaun Baker can teach you how to get them and what to do with them. As the lead photographer, videographer, and content technician for Broken Drift and Big Pine, Shaun’s helped shape
