The best reviewed stand-up workshops in the world!
By International Touring Comedian and Expert Showman Greg Romero Wilson.
Do your friends tell you that you are funny and should be a standup comic? Then save yourself years of painful trial and error and learn from the industry’s best. Dozens of Greg’s students are now full time paid comics. Founder and instructor Greg Romero Wilson is a current, touring headliner at the best-known clubs and casinos in America. The IMPROVs, Laugh Factory, Comedy Store and Vegas Casinos including The Stratosphere, Bally’s, Mandalay Bay and Planet Hollywood to name a few. His stand-up TV appearances include FOUR episodes of COMICS UNLEASHED and standing ovations on SHOWTIME and COMEDY.TV. With over 20 years of professional comedy experience, Greg has invented and implemented new, highly-effective stand up training techniques. Greg is THE ONLY ONE to teach VITAL skills like “CROWD-WORK & RIFFING” and “HANDLING HECKLERS”. His students have gone on to appearances on Comedy Central, Conan, Live at Gotham, Comics Unleashed and star on shows like MADtv, Silicon Valley and The Walking Dead. No shit.

Storytelling
There are great stories and there are stage-worthy stories. There is a key element a story has to have to become material. Then there are punchline dynamics you can apply to make that story strong material throughout. Let Greg walk you through the step-by-step process of taking that story from the BBQ to the stage.
Hosting
The absolute best way to go from bringer to booked comic is by being a GOOD HOST. But this position is fundamentally different from every other role on the show. And most comics do the exact opposite. Knowing what to do and how to do it is the difference between getting booked once and getting booked over and over.

These are just a few of our success stories…
As a leading college in Paris, we look to engage with our student beyond the conventional design and development school relationship, becoming a partner to the people.
