"When I first came to class, I had notions about stand-up comedy that were completely wrong. Judy and Cary saved me 10 years of struggling to try and be Jerry Seinfeld when it turns out that I can be much more successful by telling jokes based on my own life. Our showcase was wonderful; making my friends and family laugh, not to mention hundreds of strangers, was a great experience.
Before I started this class, I thought that stand up would be a limited, one-time experience. Now I want to keep performing. Judy and Cary taught me tools, not just a few jokes. Thank you both for that." -Vikram Patel "Thank you for putting on the classes. I performed this week at a family reunion in CO and it went great. I killed!! Even got applause on my first punch line. Gotta love those relatives!! I've had one paid gig and another on the calendar for August, as well as another unpaid one. Thanks for all you did for me. Studying your books, taking the Career in a Box course, and finishing up with the live class was just great. I'm loving the process. I'm looking forward to keeping you and Cary updated on my journey. At 66, I'm not wasting any time. Thanks again for what you are doing for comedy." - Karen Robertson "What you offer is the biggest bang for the buck...that's for sure. Thanks to your workshop I have new comedy buddies and we meet each week and jam new ideas. Blessings to you and your awesome workshops." - Ruthie Glynn, Winter '09 "The class was very helpful. I have my audience in stitches now whenever I teach or IÕm giving a speech." -Arial Burnz, author "I experienced so much growth and confidence as both a performer and a writer from the class I took last year with you and Cary. I constantly recommend your class to anyone who expresses an interest in stand-up, public speaking or just challenging themselves with something new. I look forward to taking the advance class again in the future. - Colette Divine "Thanks from the bottom of my English heart for all your support and genius help over the last 8 weeks. It was an amazing roller coaster ride and I think all the hard work paid off. Lots still to learn, but I have loved the new world that has opened up for me. - Emma Field-Rayner "It's the best therapy I have ever had." -Vita Lusty "I loved the showcase and the level you have brought to my act. Many many thanks!!!" - Jo De Rijck, Belgium "Just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity. I had a blast up on stage! I look forward to working with you and Cary on putting together a really solid routine. And who knows maybe I can make something happen with this." - Todd Rulapaugh "Thank you so much for the class! I had a wonderful time and you and Cary were so terrific and wonderful. You guys made my fantasy become a reality!" - Ross Malorzo "It was really a great class. I learned a lot from your book and the guidance of Cary. Thank you so much for giving me the courage to even try stand up. " - Chris Aguila "I never thought I could really be that good a stand-up. Now my manager is talking about plays and TV shows! Your class is what really helped me. - Steven Ford "Before your workshop, I was like, " Damn, I've got to go out there for five whole minutes?!!" And now it's like, "Shit, I only get five minutes?!!" - Michael Dominic "After my first showcase at the end of my very first workshop, I posted my set at The Hollywood Improv on Youtube and soon after I was booked on my first corporate comedy gig. Yes, I was PAID! -Kathy Taylor "I'm into stand-up heavily right now and it's amazing how many people I cross paths with who were from your class... good memories! Things are going really well with the TV pilot I co-wrote and produced and we currently have offers on the show." - Natalie Gray |
