After years of being a frustrated, aspiring comedian I took the Frog and Bucket Comedy Course and now I’m a frustrated, actual comedian. If you’ve ever thought that you might want to try comedy then the course is a fantastic peek behind the curtain and it has started me and others on a path that has led to fulfilling dreams of performing on some of the best comedy stages in the country.

Amazing experience and a wonderful way to get in to stand up comedy and meet new people. It was great. Defo something that people should try and I will be recommending this to people! Dave was great and the final show was so much fun (although terrifying!)
