The Comedy Business Workshop is a 3-hour tour of the comedy business and all it has to offer. Are you a good fit for this demanding and self-starting career?
You will learn more in this session about the business side of being funny than some comics learn in their entire career. You can take this class without any experience. It is a real eye-opener into the world of comedy as a career.
“Rik is funny and a great businessman, but perhaps his best quality is his desire to help others succeed. I walked away from his comedy business classes 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!”

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“I didn’t know what to expect with this class. But it was much more an I could have ever thought of. Your formal approach in a casual setting made it easy to absorb the mountain of information. I know I have questions, but I am just now starting my coffee this morning so they will have to wait to kick in and out of my brain for another time. 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.”
