WRITER'S WORKSHOP
WRITER'S WORKSHOP
Whether you’re a “newbie” who has never been on stage before, or a comedian who just wants to add “more funny” to your set, our 6-week workshops offer something for everyone.
Stand-up Comedy 101 focuses on those new to stand-up comedy who have limited or no prior stand-up experience. The Stand-up Comedy Writer’s Workshop is for those who’ve been on stage a few times and are looking to take their material to the next level, focusing on writing and fine tuning new and existing material.

Thank you so much for a great class! It was a great experience. I appreciated all your help, feedback and instruction.

Tom was a great/supportive teacher who helped his students develop and showcase their comedy work. His class was a great learning experience and I would highly recommend it to those wishing to try stand-up comedy.

I loved the collaboration with working comics. It was a close knit group that got along really well. Tom has a knack for giving input and ideas and helping comics fine tune their material. Tom is very positive and upbeat and never makes anyone feel like they don’t belong. I’m glad this school exists and I’m proud to have gone through both the beginners class and the writers workshop. I am telling everyone I know about SOS and I hope it stays around for a long time.

After taking this class, I did something I never thought I would do. I appeared on stage before a real audience and did a stand-up comedy routine. It was an experience of a lifetime!

Thank you so much for the great class and great experience! Attempting stand-up has always been a dream of mine, if I were honest I would say a dream that I thought was largely dead. So doing your class and show was really a dream come true! and I thank your for your part in it. This is a great class for anyone looking to try their hand at stand-up. Tom knows how to bring out the funny in everyone and his experience and expertise guided well.

Everything was covered- from the business aspects of doing open mics, producing, getting gigs to writing which included formulas I hadn’t seen before. Enjoyed performing followed by feedback and group suggestions to punch up jokes (happy to report their suggestions helped!!) Class always great energy and fun!!
