          .. I was excited to meet the group of folks who are involved with the San Francisco Comedy College. They are a very passionate group of
            people with their hearts and minds in the right place. I was skeptical before I met Kurtis Matthews and his comedians...and came away
            very  impressed  and inspired. If only there were more institutions like the SF Comedy College....there'd be less room for the hacks and
            empty-rhetoric comics that permeate the stand-up world today."

            Talent Coordinator "Late Show with David Letterman"

            "I've worked with Kurtis Matthews' students and his gifts as a teacher are on display in their work.  They have great comfort on stage,
             they have  material that is funny, tightly written and original.  They are distinctive personalities on stage and they communicate a love
             for stand-up.  All of these attributes are a testimony to Kurtis's prowess as a teacher.  I recommend him wholeheartedly."

             Run by professional funnyman Kurtis Matthews, the school turns Saturday nights into the best comedy club in town -- for free."

           * Based upon total students, facility size, performance opportunities, gross receipts, and 03 - 08 Rooster Ts, Tommy Ts and San Jose Improv new talent and "Battle of the Bay' comedy competition
            wins (1200 comedians in 12 contests over 6 years - SFCC students (Students are defined as those that studied with the SFCC for one year or more) accomplished 10 first place and 3 second
            place finishes)  directly vs. non affiliated independent comedians and students of all other bay area stand up comedy coaches, comedy teachers and monologue schools combined.

            Claims by other instructors and coaches in the Bay Area as to equal or better student accomplishment are pre SFCC establishment in 99, never substantiated in fact nor verified by many of
            the comedians for which the trainers take credit. In stark contrast to some in the Bay Area comedy instruction business, the SFCC does not claim those that work with us one session or sit in
            our office for an hour as we write jokes for them as students nor do we inaccurately equate stand up training with TV and movie ACTING credits that are rightly attributed to ACTING teachers
            or solely upon the personal accomplishment of the talent. All SFCC instructors are working comedians with verifiable resumes and no comedy training facility or club in America offers more
            stage time for new talent than the SFCC and two clubs within 'The Clubhouse' in SF. We are happy to provide contact info for all SFCC comedians with contest victories, national TV commercial,
            film and tv roles. They will readily endorse the training they have received here!
           **(3 beginner classes, 4 advanced classes plus one on one students per week with a per month student load of 100 plus)
 

The Simple Premise for this BBC show: Can Stand Up be taught?
Can ANYONE be trained to be a competent comedian in 8 weeks and rock a major comedy festival?
YES and YES!
