WRITER'S WORKSHOP
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.

I’ve taken it seven times. Class sucks.

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!

Tom was a great/supportive teacher who helped his students develop and showcase their comedy work. His class was a great learning experience and I would highly recommend it to those wishing to try stand-up comedy.

It was a BLAST!!!! The class, the show, getting to know everyone a bit… thank you all for the comments and supportive suggestions along the way.

The Workshop is very exciting and fun. Tom, my instructor, is such an amazing gentleman. He is always looking for ways to help the students, which impressed me. There is never a discouraging word or attitude from Tom. Because of Tom, I want/wanted to become better and better. During my lifetime, I have had many instructors for many different subjects and I must say, in all honesty, Tom is the best !!!!
The atmosphere of the workshop was wonderful. All of the students participated and also, helped each other to better their set. I cannot say enough about Tom and his workshop. This has not only been a great experience, but a very fruitful one !!

If your friends and family have always told you, “you should be a stand-up comic”, or it has been a nagging desire of yours to be one, then here is a great opportunity to try it out. The class size is small and Tom Riehl is a very positive and helpful instructor. You will be in class with like-minded people and have so much fun encouraging and helping one another with their final sets. Performing live in front of your friends and family on “Graduation” night will give you as sense of accomplishment and desire to learn more and improve on your natural sense of humor.
