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

Love Tom and how he directed us to be the best we could be…

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 was a Blast…

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.

Susan I.

I would give this class a 10/10…

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.

Jack H.

I recommend this class…

It was a very comfortable environment and my fellow students are awesome and the teacher was over the top I would recommend this class to anyone.

Adele L.

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.

This was a life changer…

The relaxed setting, and having the opportunity to unwind and share before digging in each week was great. It helped the process to get to know each other, to feel safe and I think it enhanced the process. The materials were comprehensive and the worksheets a fun tool to open up our creativity and get ideas flowing.
This was a life changer! Even if I never get up on stage again (although I REALLY want to) it was a growth experience like few others. Tom is a natural teacher with the perfect combination of patience, encouragement and the ability to critique while keeping even the most fragile of us (who shall remain nameless…) intact. He’s funny as hell too!
