"After taking Gerry's class, I am doing shows at the Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd., at the World-famous Hollywood Improv, and many other locations. There are a lot of people who claim that they can teach you how to do standup comedy, but Gerry Katzman actually knows how to do it. The class environment is friendly and non-threatening. Gerry's class can save you from years of failure on stage! He eases you into the world of standup comedy in a way that makes it far less daunting than it can be without the proper guidance. He is friendly and always approachable, and he is a paid, performing standup comedian. Why learn from anyone else? If standup comedy is what you want to do, than this is the class you have to take!"
-Adam Kruger - TV Host, Actor, Comedian

"Gerry Katzman is a truly gifted coach. After attending just one of his showcases; I knew that he was my key to success. Every other comedy coach I worked with before, had left me feeling lost, hopeless, and with many questions. Gerry created an informed, supportive, fun, and creative environment. After completing his 10-week class I was confident, I had found my voice, and I was given priceless connections in Hollywood. I finally was given a formula for writing that allowed me to be original, personal, and yet relatable to all kinds of audiences. He makes you feel like you're not in it alone, and leaves you with a support system so many comedians never get. He enjoys what he does, and loves each of his students for who they are. He has a rare and brilliant vision that anyone would be lucky to be touched by."
-Amanda Ireton - actor, comedian, host (MTV, CBS)

"Gerry Katzman listens, helps, encourages, builds, and challenges you to take yourself to the next level. I've been doing stand up for three years and I wanted to take a class that would help me explore more authentic topics, challenge myself creatively, and write on a consistent basis. Gerry's class was it. He's one of the funniest, wittiest guys I know and his class is remarkably fun and supportive."
