What do FUNY Grads Say?
“The 101 class I’m currently in puts to rest the old saw that “those who can do, and those who can’t teach.” The instructional team, headed up by Felicia Madison, and including special guests like Brian Scott McFadden, excel at both doing and teaching – a rarity in comedy. I’ve grown more comedically in just the first three classes than I have in the past 18 months, when I was taking professional workshops and going to open mics. I feel a renewed sense of optimism that I can be as funny on stage as I am with my friends and colleagues. I recommend this class to anyone who aspires to the same.”

“I am presently taking a class and have taken a couple of workshops, FUNY Standup is a great place no matter what stage of your career you are in. Beginner or experienced there is a class for you. I am enjoying the classes and workshops and plan to continue working with FUNY Standup to perfect my comedy. I recommend it to anyone interested in classes.”

“Such a great class. Felicia is awesome, focuses on each individual to help find voice and authentic self. Take the class!”
Maureen Taylor, Student
“Felicia’s class is awesome! Not only is her teaching excellent but she also includes guest speakers on specific topics. That’s a first and makes it so much more efficient. I’ll definitely keep following FUNY Standup for classes and workshops. Bravo!”

“Jordan is fantastic. He is an active professional, so he gave us an insider perspective and was very generous with that. The students were demographically diverse, which made for a comfortable atmosphere. Jordan was supportive, straightforward when something wasn’t working, and suggested a lot of great punchlines and tags. Also, he steered students away from lowest common denominator jokes and charged language. I appreciated that.”

“Eddie Brill’s Comedy Workshop today was amazing on so many levels. Creating mutual trust in the service of providing honest peer reviews is clearly another one of Eddie’s superpowers. He created a temporary learning system out of eight strangers (and some observers) right off the bat. What followed, for me, was gold. I feel like I’m better off for it. Definitely worth the fee and time invested.”

“F Comedy club, [now known as FUNY Standup] got me into West Side Comedy Club, but the reason I love it is the community. It’s very friendly and supportive, which isn’t always easy to foster in this business! Thank you, Felicia.”
Sam Morrison, Comic
“F Comedy [now known as FUNY Standup] and Felicia helped me to be seen and passed by club bookers in NYC. It’s an amazing, professional, and helpful place to grow as a comic in NYC. It’s a resource that more comics should take advantage of every week.”
