    Anonymous review on 2/26/2019
    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.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students of The Comedy Institute praise the classes taught by Greg for their engaging and interactive nature. The only suggestion for improvement is to include more improvisation exercises that encourage students to speak and think on their feet without too much editing. This would enhance the flow of the exercises and make them even more enjoyable. Greg's energy and enthusiasm make the classes highly valuable and informative. Students appreciate the wealth of information they receive and feel that they walk away with valuable skills. Quotes: 1. "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!" 2. "Greg is a genius, above all he is just an awesome human being."
