Tom created an environment that maximized our abilities to be creative and provided thoughtful feedback to all material. This is one of the few experiences in life that I would love to relive.

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.

That our instructor, Tom Riehl, created a comfortable, safe, relaxed, & fun environment for us students new to stand-up comedy to be able to express ourselves freely, be true to ourselves, be confident in our writing & presentation. I would recommend this Class to anyone that has had even a slight interest in doing Stand-up Comedy or even for someone who just needs help with Public Speaking. I’m looking forward to taking the Comedy Writer’s Workshop.

I had a great time and learned a lot!  Thank you Tom for your expert guidance, encouragement and commitment to our success.  I also appreciate you making a special trip to support me at the open mic show.  You definitely went the extra mile!

I was a “Big Baby” about public speaking, let alone a comedy routine in front of strangers but Tom lead a group of comics & myself (I’m not funny) in creating a routine that “Rocked the House.” It was stressful but what an experience – a life changing exciting – check that “Life’s Bucket List” box, experience. Thank you Tom and new friends!!!

I LOVED the collaboration effort – really helped tighten my set.
