TEENAGERS have been bringing out their inner comedian and honing their comic timing thanks to an Oxford holiday workshop.

Performers Mark Curtis and John Carter, from London, have been running classes in comedy at the Burton Taylor Studio, in Gloucester Street, all week.

Mr Curtis said it was part of the Oxford Playhouse’s learning outreach programme and included quirky exercises, workshops and games designed to bring out the comedy, and confidence in all participants.

About 40 teenagers between 12 and 15 took part in the £125 course.
