What Students Say About the Classes
“I participated in all of the School of Laughs comedy classes and they were well worth the time, effort and money. You’ll gain years of experience in only a few short weeks, so it’s a wise investment into your career. I recommend the School of Laughs to anyone who’s looking to take their comedy skills to the next level!”
Ray Mack
“I recommend the comedy writing class from Rik Roberts. You’ll learn a lot and walk away with a binder full of joke writing exercises you’ll still refer to years down the road. He’s always willing to answer questions. It’s a best buy, if you are serious about being a working comedian.”
Sherre Bishop
The lessons are very well put together in these videos. I’ve been an instructor and I’ve paid much more for inferior quality college courses. You have definitely earned my business and you can quote me on that.
Fred Harvey
I am so glad I’ve taken your course. It has given me different approaches to writing and I’ve found ways to punch through writer’s block. Your comments have been very helpful and insightful. Thanks again for your time and what you’re doing!
Brett Brock
“This class is exactly what I’ve have been needing. Before the classes I did ‘okay’ on stage. But I knew within myself I needed more training. I appreciate you giving back to the craft of being a comedian”.
LaMel Burt
“Rik is funny and a great businessman, but perhaps his best quality is his desire to help others succeed. I walked away with some information that far exceeded the cost of the class. I highly recommend everything he offers! If he was a Cracker Barrel waiter, he would wear an apron with Four Stars!”
Addison Tweedy
I didn’t know what to expect with this class. But it was much more an I could have ever though of. Your formal approach in a casual setting made it easy to absorb the mountain of information. I think some of the contact information was worth the price alone of tuition. In my professional business opinion … It is worth more than you charge. But knowing you like to share your gift, I see that you’re trying to make it affordable for as many people as you can.
Eddy Gwartney
The business class was great. It really helped me open up my eyes on all the areas a comedian can focus on to build ones Career. I really enjoyed it and would encourage everyone to take the class. Thanks!
