Stand Up Comedy Class Testimonials
“I loved the class and learned more than I ever expected. It gave me the self-confidence and knowledge I was seeking and would recommend that any person interested in honing their speaking skills or a future in comedy take the class. Brad Binkley is a fantastic instructor that understood what each individual student's goals and needs are. His feedback and advice are always professional and informative. I am a better person in many ways from all that I learned in that class. Thank you to Brad and the Jackpie team.”

“I've taken a couple other stand-up classes and Brad's had the most comprehensive structure. I would (and have) recommend this class to anyone interested in learning the basics of stand-up comedy, from joke structure to overcoming fear of standing solo on a stage. Brad doesn't just rewrite the jokes the students bring, he leads them to thinking in terms of premise, set-up, act-out, misdirect and punchline; demonstrating each with a video example from a professional comic. I left the class feeling confident and now perform regularly on the Atlanta comedy circuit. I am truly grateful to Brad for the time he spent structuring and leading this class!”

“Brad is an incredible stand up teacher. He cares about each and every student. He uses a variety of teaching techniques, so that everyone has the optimal experience. Brad encourages each student to find
his/he own voice. He also discourages bad habits, such as not writing everything down! Brad is knowledgeable, supportive and creative. He reads our sets and offers suggestions. Brad has such a unique perspective and structured approach to teaching stand-up, the latter is not an easy task. Students in his class make immeasurable and impressive progress, mostly due to his innate ability to cater to the whole and the individual, all in one class. People ask me how I got into stand up. The honest truth is that as soon as I saw the offering taught by the talented improviser (and friend) I knew, I had to take the class. 6 months later I am
doing stand up all over Atlanta and loving it. I never could have done it without Brad's class.”
