Crowd-Work & Riffing
The Comedy Institute See all classes by this school @ 950 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Ya know how a veteran comic sounds like he’s just talking and it’s hilarious? That is called “speaking in the language of stand-up”. And it comes from the ability to riff on-stage, using punchline dynamics naturally and creating material entirely in voice. There’s nothing more exciting than when a comedian goes off-book. It’s exciting, electric and dangerous. But when done right, there is nothing that can get an audience on it’s...

Stand-Up Comedy Workshop with Graduation Show
Jonathan is a gem. Incredibly passionate teacher who really breaks down what you need to know to have success in comedy. I never leave reviews on these sites but people need to know how good this class/teacher is. Already told all my friends so you folks might as well know too -

Your World Premiere at the Comedy Store Stand-Up
I was thrilled to find this class. It’s been a wonderful experience. -
Stand Up Level 1
Joanie Coyote was wonderful and insightful. She gave me some of the best and most useful notes I've ever received from a director or teacher. She never put me down and never poked fun of any of us. She's a pro and you can feel it when she talks to you. She empathizes with how vulnerable we are up there and made us all feel like we really could/can do this seemingly impossible task of "getting up and doing 5 minutes". Oh, and she taught me how to write a joke.... And a whole bunch of other stuff you need to know before you step on that stage. I loved the class and I think Ms. Coyote is exceptional. -
Stand-up Comedy Workshop
Adam is very funny and a encouraging teacher. He helps you find your inner comic with on stage exercises. The showcase is a really great opportunity to get to perform at the Comedy Store in a supportive atmosphere. -
Stand-up Comedy Workshop
Very supportive environment which is crucial when you’re putting yourself out there for stand up. -
Crowd-Work & Riffing
Greg gives a great class, I love the student engagement. My only feedback would be to have the students participate in more (improv) exercises that have the students say/ ramble even more with less editing. This way, they can play with having even more flow, this would heighten the exercises that he administers in class. -
Intro to Comedy Intensive
Great Calls Got us on the stage immediately great coaching -
Storytelling
It's more fun than Vegas!! -
Fundamentals A: Intro to Improv
As a very shy person (who put off taking this class for years), I found it to be an incredibly valuable program. Each class I felr more and more comfortable! Really enjoyed showing up to each class! -
Free Workshop
Greg is a genius, above all he is just an awesome human being. -

It was a fabulous class, he gave us great energy even tho the class was small and it was late and hot. So much information and definitely valuable. Loved it!
