I really appreciated the instruction on how to make your writing concise, relevant, and humorous. It was also a supportive environment to debut your material. This was a “bucket list” activity for me & I am so glad I took the class!

I’m SO thankful for the opportunity to learn and perform. Most of all, I’m grateful for the privilege to know all the performers, learn from them and especially to Tom for his wise guidance and advice.

Afraid to try comedy?  Relax.  Nervous about what you might say or about getting up in front of others?  Relax.  Never done anything like this before?  No problem in Tom’s class.    Tom is kind, gentle, funny, encouraging and a master of comedy.  Through his class it will all come together.  He makes it work!

It was a very comfortable environment and my fellow students are awesome and the teacher was over the top I would recommend this class to anyone.

Comedy isn’t as easy as you’d think, but Tom Riehl has a way of pulling out the best in each of his students. Even the shyest of folks gains the confidence and ability to go WAY outside their comfort zone after the course. What other school allows you to laugh out loud for three hours???

The handouts were textbook quality – I was amazed at the quality and depth of information on each sheet. Also the freedom to perform TBD minutes for the graduation showcase (I was looking at another class and they provided only 6 minutes max) along with a video copy of the set.
