WRITER'S WORKSHOP
Whether you’re a “newbie” who has never been on stage before, or a comedian who just wants to add “more funny” to your set, our 6-week workshops offer something for everyone.
Stand-up Comedy 101 focuses on those new to stand-up comedy who have limited or no prior stand-up experience. The Stand-up Comedy Writer’s Workshop is for those who’ve been on stage a few times and are looking to take their material to the next level, focusing on writing and fine tuning new and existing material.

This class rocks. You’re a true professional at comedy, and a natural teacher. And I loved being comfortable to rib each other (and even you) at the end. You took good care of us all! You teach without limiting or censuring, which I think gives the most room for growth. You’ll share your opinion, but if someone still holds to what they believe, you let them. That is ultimately very freeing.

Tom was such a supportive and helpful coach in educating us to the basics of stand up comedy and then helping us improve what we wrote with the collaboration of our fellow students… I felt very supportive and appreciated my class mates in improving my set… Graduation Night Was A Blast!!!!

It’s great to be with people and express your comedic viewpoints, everyone there feels like secondhand family by the second week. The criticism is valid and doesn’t go overboard, you also get an instructor who is very down to earth and is extremely helpful at wanting you to perform your best. Overall I would give this class a 10/10 every time.

The format structure, the progression was well thought out, and got me comfortable in front of a microphone at the right time. Also, it forced me to write and perform at a pace that I would not have had the self discipline to do on my own. Tom has a vast experience, and has an infectious positive attitude that made each class lots of fun.

Tom was great and very supportive as I was way out of my comfort zone!! The night of graduation show, I actually ended up just having fun. The nervousness went away. Tom was a big help in that area. I learned a lot & it helped improve my self confidence in front of an audience….. big time! I had a great time. Thank you Tom and see your in next course.

Tom sets this class up just right. I have done several similar classes and this was the best primarily because of the comfortable environment Tom creates which allows participants to find their voice. It was also challenging and a blast at the same time. You instantly start writing your own work and get real stage time. Fantastic class!
