Class Philosophy
Comics need a place to go where the atmosphere is supportive. This class is the place. Instead of focusing on the negative, we focus on what the performer does well, and use that as the foundation to build a professional act.
This is a place to start your dream, and you are encouraged to dream big. No comedian who has ever “made it big” ever did so without believing they could. You could be next!!!
