What Makes Our Standup Course Different:

- We own our theater, so we are able to put on several open mics a week where our students can practice and perform. Since the pandemic performance opportunities (especially for new comics) have been very limited. We guarantee stage time for our students on at least two open mics per week throughout the course. No other comedy class or school in Southern California can do this.

- We provide free tickets to the comedy shows produced at the theater and by the theater during the duration of the six-week course. This includes tickets to our popular pop-up style shows around Orange County and LA.

- Our open mics and class graduation shows are filmed and students receive a free video copy of each of their performances. More chances to see yourself on video means faster improvement in your performances.

- Scheduled one-on-one time with instructors to go over specific issues, challenges and goals within standup comedy.

- Instruction on how to manage your social media presence and best online practices for representing yourself and your comedy to others. This includes how to start and produce your own weekly podcast.
