Viv Gee is an incredible teacher, who always imbues the room with a supportive, upbeat energy which always results in an atmosphere of encouragement amongst the class – so important when first attempting an art-form as exposing as stand-up comedy. She goes above and beyond to make you feel safe and is a great visionary when helping shape your set and improving your stage craft when you first start out.

It was because of Viv’s course that I became a comedian and am still doing it professionally 21 years later. As a working performer herself, Viv is an excellent and intuitive tutor who delivers an informative and practical course that led to real opportunities to perform. It was the best and warmest introduction into the wonderful world of stand-up that I could have hoped for.

I've always liked jokes and laughs and make a joke out of anything... I'm just living my best life and I just want to enjoy the experience and my five minutes in the spotlight.
