The Writer’s Room encourages you to build the habit of writing every day. You can use the Drawing Board to share ideas and/or receive feedback. Different premises will be posted regularly for you to practice on. You can comment under the premise w/ what you would do with the premise if you would like and you will receive feedback. The Feedback Room is where you can post your own jokes and or sets specifically for receiving feedback. You can share a joke or two and others can give you their feedback to do with as you please. When providing feedback, don't just say "funny" or "good," but break it down and explain why it's funny, what could make it even funnier, what tags could be used. The Wins/Clips room is where you can share and find motivation and tangible evidence that yopu have been putting the work in. Post your stand-up clips, what new shows you're on, anything you consider a win. The Writer's Room is for serious professionals. Serious Comics/Writers who make a living doing standup and who may or may not be well-known, or not yet, participate and work on different jokes and bits. Be proud of yourself for taking the initiative. Not only does your participation help yourself, but it helps others. Note: Keep in mind that we are all writing jokes. Some Comics are more explicit than others, some are more offensive and some are clean and family friendly. But the only thing that matters is if a joke is funny. Be as dirty or clean as you want, but focus on the craft of writing first and foremost. If you get offended by other people’s jokes or ideas, you should probably not do stand up.

Videos are currently being worked on that will be shared in the classroom section. If anyone has any recommendations or request for different topics, please comment..

The surrounding bullshit you have to go through as a comedian, a.k.a the grind, is hard enough. The stage should be the easy part. Save the struggle for going to mics everyday, signing up for the 150th spot on the list, watching everyone else go up before you while the crowd slowly dwindles, then bombing in front of nobody except a few other comics who are even further down the list than you, but still waiting for their turn. Begging friends and family to fulfill the five person quota of a bringer show, writing every morning, watching other comedians progress faster or slower, signing up for open mics at clubs and not getting noticed by the booker, even when you did well, while some comic that sucks gets the development spot you are starving for while a constant paranoia that you might be wasting your life for five minutes of eliciting laughter from strangers is always there, especially when you shuffle offstage into obscurity Then when you've been doing it long enough to get booked on shows and even get paid, a whole new gauntlet must be navigated on the way to the stage: Booking independent shows, trying to sell tickets to people who never heard of you, convincing other comics to let you open or feature for them, desperately trying to build a following online, dealing with other "comedians" whose idea of the grind is how many people they can get cancelled- because to them comedy is just the means to the end --which is getting attention. Learning to kill, receiving praise after shows, getting yelled at after shows, winning contests, booking festivals while trying to maintain the line between onstage and offstage because you're being held to some established unspoken norms no one told you about. Getting passed at clubs, getting banned from clubs, having drinks thrown in your face, offended audience members waiting for you after the show by your car, meeting an agent or booker or producer or headliner who you are sure will be your big break, only for nothing to happen, until they reappear and something does happen, and then it doesn't again. Getting fired from day jobs becuase you're comedy on Youtube gave a coworker an early period, juggling personal relationships with people who only want something from you depending on what degree of success you are experiencing but still resenting you for your commitment to succeed. Sweet family members disowning you because of a joke you wrote, and being broke until you're less than broke, then making a lot of money which only keeps you tolerating being broke again because you've had a taste.
