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.

A great sense of community. No one felt like they wanted to outshine everyone else. It was very much about the work. Tom was so good at making suggestions based on the work you would bring in. An overall great creative environment.

Had a blast with Tom and the other classmates, the performance was surreal and so cool to do! I had an awesome time in class! Thanks Tom for all the love and support!

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!

The chance to practice in front of others in a friendly, supportive atmosphere, and then get helpful feedback, along with the amazing opportunity for a “real-life” performance at the end. Thanks for a fun and helpful class!

I have been producing comedy shows in Orange County for the past 10 years and I love going to the Students of Stand-Up graduation showcases. Many times I have found Tom’s students ready and prepared to perform, and I have booked several of them for my show at the Irvine Improv. As of today I am yet to be disappointed!

Thank you so much for a great class! It was a great experience. I appreciated all your help, feedback and instruction.
