This was one of the most rewarding classes I've ever taken. Joe gives you EXACTLY what you need to do well in standup comedy. Be open. Listen to the notes. Follow the formulas. This will challenge you to look at who you are and what you're made of. It doesn't always feel great, but it truly makes you a better comedian, and human, in my opinion. Not to mention, performing on the Improv stage was the best feeling in the world and this class made that possible. Thanks for everything Joe!!

This is an amazing class and Joe is an awesome teacher and mentor! Stand Up Comedy has been a life long dream of mine. I was scared to try until this class. Taking Joes class gave me the tools and confidence I needed! What I like most is Joe isn't going to just tell you what you want to hear. He challenges you to be the best and give it your all!! Truly the only stand up class you need!!! I plan to continue to work with Joe to continue on this journey and take it to the next level!!

Highly recommended if you're aspiring to be a comedian, just looking to have fun, or finding ways to finesse your technique. The class is a fast-track way to figure out the basics of the comedy scene, and is much easier and less terrifying than going to open mic nights to figure out the right things by trial and error. I was in a class of originally 9 people (2 dropped out due to time constraints) and it was perfect. The group was small enough that everyone had time to show their material, but also big enough to receive substantial feedback. Joe is amazing at providing constructive criticism, suggesting ideas to evolve your set, and is not afraid to tell you if you're taking cheap shots for a half-assed chuckle. At the end, we all performed at the Hollywood Improv in front of our friends, which was an amazing opportunity to be in the limelight. The audience was super supportive of our acts, and classmates who were unsure of their material absolutely KILLED it during the show! If you take Joe's class, you will definitely find a method of writing that suits you and create an on-stage persona that defines you as an artist.
