Reviews for Stand Up Comedy Classes in NYC

Stand Up Comedy Classes in NYC are rated 4.9 stars based on 20 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Wonderful experience, highly recommend to those who are looking to understand the art of comedy and method of delivery. Comfortable setting and helpful feedback.
  • Shawn is a great teacher. I learned a lot, and got more confident in performing. He helped me accept myself, and how to develop ideas.
  • We had a wonderful time in Shawn Wickens's stand-up comedy class. From the beginning, Shawn was warm and supportive, helping us think about comedy, writing, and storytelling, and gave us fun exercises to practice in front of the audience. This was a great use of our time, and a really fun way to practice stand-up, and just to get public speaking practice in general, in an intimate and warm environment.
  • Shawn was a great teacher, and I felt great coming out of the class! Looking forward to doing some open mic nights now!
  • By the end of the class I could write jokes and perform at open mics. Thank you Shawn!!
  • Shawn was a very patient and informative teacher. This is a great class for learning the subtle techniques for comedy ... for social and professional purposes.
  • Great time! One on one really helped
  • The instructor was an excellent teacher. You surely learn a lot from him of how to improve your comedy and acting skills. The cost for the class is very reasonable.
  • By far the best class I've taken in NYC yet. Shawn was able to answer every question I had, help me through my stuck points, and I left with a fresh sense of confidence about myself as a performer/ artist.
  • It was great to do exercises, get tips on joke writing and get advice on delivery methods.
