Stand-Up Comedy Class

Comedyschools.com is a stand-up comedy workshop now in its twenty-fourth year in the Valley. Past students have gone on to become regulars on Saturday Night Live, cast members on shows including The Walking Dead, and have appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, HBO, and more.

Head Instructor Tony Vicich is a former touring stand-up comic who has appeared on Evening at the Improv, MTV ½ Hour Comedy Hour, The Showtime Comedy All Stars, and Comedy Central.

Workshops are open to everyone — aspiring comics, CEOs, salespeople, and anyone looking for a new experience. Each round is 5 weeks / 10 classes long, held Mondays & Tuesdays, 7:30 PM–10 PM, and concludes with a Class Clowns Show at Tempe Improv.
