‘Doing these courses is like having the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in 2010’

“Your jokes will get better and you’ll be more imaginative and you’ll acquire actual skills rather than having to navigate the creative scene like it’s the Bermuda triangle.”

“Abi and Amanda will give you the tools you need to keep your comedy moving in the right direction – It is rare to find two gems within the industry who are so willing to share their years of experience with people further down the ladder.”

“In an industry which is so easy to stagnate the joke craft course has been instrumental in elevating my writing. It’s a super technical course that helps you create habits for success and creativity as well as show what it means to actually work and make a living as a comedian.”

“The two of them are generous and kind with sharing their comedy knowledge with the class and if you are very lucky Amanda will shout at you but it’s because she likes you and cares.”

“After taking Amanda and Abi’s Jokes course I now feel like the Blind Man in the bible after he has been healed and can now see.”

“I sort of feel like I’ve been somewhere like ‘The Priory’ but for a comedy disorder.” 

“Being in those classes felt very special…  felt like I wasn’t in a class but watching a great performance the whole time, the solos and the great double act when performing together.”

“If you loved football and I told you that Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp were doing a course for regular folk to be better at football as a player you would do it right? Well Amanda and Abi offering these courses is the comedy equivalent.”

“I love how everyone was treated as a comic and we weren’t talking about gigs but about how to get better.”

“The course shows you what muscles you need to build in order to make anything funny.”

“Amanda and Abi are a force to be reckoned with, watching them blow the minds of a class (mine included) is not only enlightening but it’s entertaining too. They’re both so generous with their time and insight, I feel really privileged to have had the opportunity to work with them.”

“There are no shortcuts in comedy but there is the overtaking lane and it is this course.”

“Insight + learning from this 1 course  = 1,000,000 conversations with comics in the green room/car to the gig.”

“I remember the first time I wore glasses and the world came into sharp focus for the first time. I had a similar revelation with respect to comedy the first time I did Amanda and Abi’s course.”

“I’m learning the real potential of what my material can do when I really perform it.”

“I can recognise so many more different joke types and what’s useful is having a clear, formula-based idea on why material goes wrong, or doesn’t work as well as it used to.”


“I loved how they demystified the writing and performance techniques that make great stand up, whereas before, it felt like whether a gig went well or badly was down to forces outside my control.”

“I am so jealous of young comics. I wish this course had been available when I was starting out. It’s enough to make we want to invent the time machine, Go back and apply what I have learned on this course from the start of my career.”

“David Bowie sang “My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare. I had to cram so many things to store everything in there” I think he was talking about how he felt after taking Abi and Amanda’s course.”

“I left each course feeling really positive and empowered, like, if I focus on developing these skills, my comedy will inevitably get better.  And this has worked!”

“Since doing the courses, I’ve had other comedians and bookers comment that I have improved so much and I am booking better gigs.  I would highly recommend Abi and Amanda’s courses to anyone looking to significantly raise their comedy game.”

“Amanda and Abi are the Lennon and McCartney of Joke Writing. Catch their course now before one of them gets shot. (and as they are about to go to America, the likelihood of that just increased dramatically).”

“I wish I had access to the information on this course when I was starting out. It would have taken years off my development as a comic.”

“This course is the closest thing you are going to get to Fast Track development in your Comedy writing skills.”

“You know that bit in the Bible when God says “let there be light. He was talking about this course.”

“The joke writing neurons in my brain are now storming toddlers. I’m trying to get to the tube station and they’re like WALKING? Fuck off walking. WE MUST WRITE JOKES NOW. There’s a pram coming? WHO FUCKING CARES BLOCK THE SIDEWALK LET BABIES BOUNCE.”

“Before the courses, I would just think – oh that kinda funny, that might get a laugh and I’d try it and see what happened – now I’m able to understand why things are working (or not.)”

“I write every day and I’m able to use a lot more of what I write (rather than just realising it’s asides or funny premises without punchlines). I now have wayyy more material and I can be selective about what I use and what I want to do with it.”

“Before the courses I didn’t touch stuff that worked. Now I re-frame set ups all the time, and this leads to more opportunities for jokes. I’m more relaxed on stage because I know I’ve got punchlines that work.”

“The course gave me an urgent desire to completely rewrite my material. To question all of it. To change the way it’s written down. To change it’s structure. To build different patterns and rhythms.”

“The course has taught me the process of how to work at an art, a craft, which I had absolutely no real understanding of..”
