Where it takes place: Charleston Club Roma

Charleston Club Roma is at Via di Porta Labicana 52, in the San Lorenzo neighborhood. Its official Instagram profile presents it with the line «Il cuore della musica e della comicità a Roma. Live, Open mic, Stand Up, Release party» (The heart of music and comedy in Rome).

The club's old website is no longer active, so program and bookings go through the social profile and the phone. The site's guide has another of the venue's events, One More Jump on November 6, and for the neighborhood the page San Lorenzo, what to see.

The official post stresses the format: four hours of workshop up close, as an alternative to two-hour masterclasses open to hundreds of people. That's why there are few places and booking is by phone.
