"I gotta say thank you so much again for an amazing experience by taking your class, it was by far one of the coolest things I've done in years. I appreciated how you let us as comedians come about on our own as apposed to wanting them to just do it the teacher's way... which a lot of "acting" instructors in LA tend to do Anyway, thank you again for everything.I feel I learned a lot and will certainly take with me the comedy knowledge that I got from the class further in my career. You're a great teacher, comedian and someone awesome to look up to." - Jeremy Weiand
