Holiday Facilitators: Logan Murray
skill, experience, warmth
Biography
![](https://www.skyros.com/uploads/logan-murray-default.png)
Logan Murray is a working comic and award winning director, author of ‘Teach Yourself Stand Up Comedy’, and script consultant for the BBC.
He has recently run a series of writing workshops for the Radio Four Comedy Department. He teaches all over the world the Art and Craft of Comedy as far west as Colorado and as far east as Shanghai.
Logan has taught many of the comedians, comedy actors and script writers who have appeared on TV and Radio over the past fifteen years, but is far too modest to boast about it here. There is, however, a list of past alumni on his website…
His courses offer a unique opportunity to find out what a comedian’s mindset is like and explore his belief that Comedy really is a life skill!
What people say about Logan and his courses:
I highly recommend his course for anyone who wants to have a great laugh and break from the stress of their normal lives. I have also found the comedian within me.
I felt in a safe space and had a lot of fun playing games, laughing and being creative.
I want to revisit comedy again. Logan was thoughtful, inspiring with lots of fun and laughter
My expectation was to improve confidence and have some fun. These have been far exceeded on Logan Murray's course. Would now consider stand-up or comedy writing as a realistic achievement.
Logan was very generous with his time and knowledge
Comedy writing - a hilarious experience brilliantly delivered by Logan.
Such a relaxing and enjoyable stay. What a restorative week.
Logan is so good at putting everyone at ease.
As facilitators go, you couldn’t ask for more.
Roughly the 10th time I’ve done logan’s course - always wonderful and great fun. Will do it again - always generates new material.
