ABOUT US

Don’t fall for celebrity testimonials, promises of quitting your day job, and comedy club schools that promise fame. We were the first school to include stage time because we recognize you can’t teach stand-up in a classroom alone. We created the original hosting class. We tell you the truth. It takes 10 years of hard work to be a comedian, not 10 classes!

Since our inception in 2009, we hae been providing new and aspiring comedians with opportunities to develop through open mics, new talent shows, and workshops. Our comedy school has been featured on the front pages of the Wall Street Journal and the Tampa Bay Times, and named a top 10 Comedy Spot in NYC by USA Today.  We offer small classes taught by professional working comedians so you can get the personal instruction you need to develop. There is no bull shit here. No promises of fame. Just a great community to help you get started in pursuing your dream.

Our New Talent Industry Showcases have helped countless comics launch their careers and have featured stars of comedy including:                                 Marc Maron, Dave Attell, Jim Gaffigan, Janeane Garofalo, Gilbert Gottfried, Tracy Morgan, and Pete Davidson, among others.
