What people have said about our
Stand-up Comedy Course

"All of John's stagecraft & techniques will apply to everyday life; workplace presentations, during meetings or just telling jokes in the pub. Bobby's skill at finding the "core" of a gag & eliminating the rest was superb, as was seeing his effortless (or seemingly effortless!) technique. John and Bobby are the entertainment world's best "secret" double act. The combination provided the the complete picture in tems of laearning and applying stand-up skills. The whole weekend passed in a blur of laughter, teamwork & a sense of acheivement. This was one of my best ever Christmas presents."

David Killip

"John's sessions were invaluable, each session was so informative and the time flew. In fact, I wanted more. Being around Bobby is infectious, you can learn so much by watching him...it was fantastic. Thank you."

Carl McCartney

"Dear Bobby and John,
What an amazing weekend. I really never dreamed how much fun it would be. Everyone should have a go at this! Thanks again"

Chantale Brosseau

"I had a great time! I found the chance to do something like this - that I'd never done before or had the opportuniny to do - just wonderful. A fantastic idea, well executed by professionals in their fields. Thanks John and Bobby!"

Kristen Farebrother

"Just wanted to say that I had a fabulous time, the whole experience from arrival to leaving was fantastic. It was immensely interesting, well constructed and a real good laugh. I have learnt so much in 30 hours to last me a lifetime. How to walk, talk and engage people. Fantastic weekend full of laughter & fun. Great food and accommodation and of course company. Thank you for all your effort, support and encouragement"

Michele Lewis

"A brilliant weekend! I've enjoyed it immensely. I thought it was going to be good from the information beforehand, but it surpassed these expectations easily..... so much more enjoyable that just a weekend away in a fabulous hotel (which it was too)...there's a great feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction of having "had a go" with nothing to lose and all to gain."

Dave Parkin

"Thank you for the experience...I thought the way you worked with us all, the way it's structured, and actually having to stand up in front of an audience was an invaluable experience."

Sue Farebrother

"Fantastic experience - Bobby and John superb"

Trevor Eardley

What a fantastic concept you've come up with, which gave me and I'm sure all of my fellow students a most unusual and enjoyable weekend in very pleasant surroundings.
The care and patience that you took with all of us to ensure that we stretched ourselves beyond our usual comfort level - but not so far that we became overly nervous or embarrassed, is a great skill.
You both have a kind demeanour and a gentle way of getting the best out of people. I couldn't think of two better tutors to help me hone what little performing talent I may have.
So gentlemen, thank you once again for an excellent weekend course."

Clive Thomas

"Dear John & Bobby,

Just a note to say ta very much for a fantastic, and very interesting, experience. I learned lots, had great fun, and feel to have had a terrific confidence boost. I guess the way that works is that if you can get up and make a fool of yourself in public, then there ain't much you can't do!
Thanks to everyone involved but, of course, specially to you two."

Mike Gross

"Dear John, Bobby
Thank you so much for a great time. Fantastic for building self-confidence. I hoped it would be useful, but it exceeded all my expectations. "

"....you approach it (The Mill and Old Swan) over a perfect little stone bridge, all the pretty houses are of Cotswold stone, roofs are thatched and the river Windrush gurgles contentedly through the village....I join the rest of my group to drink at the well of Bobby's 30 years experience in show business....we discuss each other's material...like proper comedy writers...it is a well structured course...a weekend in an attractive corner of the country...we did have a lot of laughs which....was definitely something of a tonic"
