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.

What Our Students Say

It was a great experience..

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

Priscilla B.

Relaxed & fun environment…

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.

Tom’s students are ready and prepared to perform…

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!

Wise guidance and advice…

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.

Dan T.

A great learning experience…

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.
