In-Person Stand-Up Comedy Instructor

Rocco Belsito is a sharp, witty observational comedian whose material explores sobriety, marriage, and the quiet desperation of adulthood with dry humor and unexpected twists.
Based in Arizona, Rocco has spent years writing and performing stand-up in clubs, theaters, and recovery shows. His comedy resonates with anyone who’s tried to get their life together—only to find it becoming a little stranger in the process.

Online Stand-Up Comedy Instructor
Barry Neal
(Offering Classes through ZOOM)
Barry Neal is the owner of Entertainmentmax, Inc. which is one of the largest comedy booking companies in the country. He is also a touring national headliner with over 20 TV appearances. He teaches a stand-up comedy class for students who want to take comedy seriously. The class is about two main points:
The business of stand-up comedy. So many comics are funny, but they don’t treat the business side seriously, and thus many bookers won’t work with them, and agents and managers simply don’t take them as clients. As a booker and comedy manager, Barry can help navigate this for you.
The writing of the material. We work in a late night comedy format where everyone works on each other’s material. Barry finds this helps with your own writing and can get you ready to be on a late night staff. We trim the fat, punch up the jokes, add tags and callbacks.
The first class can be a free audit. It runs on Wednesdays from 4-6 PST via zoom and is an 8 week course.
