Testimonials:

Truthfully I have been doing comedy but never took a stand up class. Sara helped me hone in on my "character" and speak more strongly in her voice. Also she's just so patient and excited with everyone which is very encouraging to witness and contagious.

Sara couldn't have done a better job teaching this class! She struck a perfect balance between holding our hand in the early stages of the process while knowing when to push us and how much. She was kind and approached comedy without being pretentious or gatekeep-y.

She was an open book and I appreciate her being candid to all sorts of questions I had—what do you do when you get nervous, how to deal with hecklers, etc.
