Nick was great. Incredibly knowledgeable, personable and of course funny. I thought his feedback was incredibly useful and constructive and his teaching technique inclusive and practical. A great guy.

Nick was amazing! He helped me with writing, mic work, stage presence, and was super supportive and fkn funny throughout the class. Nick knew exactly how to punch up my jokes to make them shine and working with him I put together a really nice 5-minute set!! Nick pushed me to reach out to a bunch of gigs and now I have 15 gigs lined up for the next month!
