I'm very grateful to have worked in the entertainment industry as a TV-film-record producer, talent manager, and podcast host…and humbled to have been nominated for a Grammy and Emmy award...and now I'm looking forward to using my 40 years of experience to help you succeed in the comedy business!

During these comedy courses (available now on Patreon), you will get full access to my experience and knowledge of every facet of the entertainment industry, to help you unlock the key to your success in your specific area of the business. You will have the guidance and career advice from me - a person who started his career as a stand-up comic and comedy club owner working with comedians like Joe Rogan, Paula Poundstone, Denis Leary, Steven Wright, Goldthwait, and Patrice O'Neal. in Boston...to Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, Sarah Silverman.

Whether it be stand-up, acting, writing, producing, directing, hosting, podcasting, or even if you want a career behind the scenes - I will share with you the tools you need to leapfrog your peers and be incredibly successful. For this online comedy course I have created several tiers to fit everyone’s financial situation so that no one will be shut out of the opportunity to get to take their career to the highest levels.

My comedy journey has involved creating 3 TV shows, representing 6 cast members and a two-time host of SNL, producing 10 films, selling over 35 one-hour comedy specials, brokering over 100 development deals, and executive producing over 300 hours of television. I've also worked with film companies like Lionsgate, Tribeca, and Universal, TV streamers like Netflix and Apple, and original premium cable giants like HBO, basic cablers like F/X, MTV, and TBS, and the alphabets networks... while bringing the Roasts to Comedy Central, brokering a 50 million dollar personal appearance deal in Vegas, negotiating seven-figure deals with syndicated radio entities like Premiere, co-founding Comedy Dynamics, and pioneering social media strategies for comedians. During this time, I’ve worked with everyone from Tom Hanks, Larry David, Chelsea Handler, and Alec Baldwin... to Amy Schumer, Pete Davidson, Neal Brennan, and Judd Apatow. Now, with this comprehensive comedy program, I am looking forward to working with you!
