In my opinion, what the San Francisco Comedy College provides is much more than just comedy. It also provides principles that help you succeed in business and life and, as we all know, add more joy to everything we do (not to mention those semi-stale cream cakes from the old comedy college vending machines). -- Chris Tabish, Author "Comediology" 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. — Stephen Rosenfield, Director - American Comedy Institute NYC, Author "Mastering Stand Up" 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." — Eddie Brill, Talent Coordinator - Late Show with David Letterman I love the San Francisco Comedy College. Right now, it's the only venue that comes close to recreating the magic of the ‘Zoo' and Matthews is producing today's comedy stars of the future. -- John Cantu, SFs Original Comedy Teacher and Producer Holy City Zoo |

Great experience! I heard about SFCC from a friend and after some consideration, decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! It was a very supportive and constructive environment to try getting up on stage and doing real, live comedy - a perfect setting for someone (like me) trying this for the very first time. -- Kathryn M. via Yelp This review is long overdue. I took classes with Kurtis about 8-12 months ago but I really enjoyed my experience. I took both the intro group classes and a few private lessons with Kurtis as well. Firstly, Kurtis is funny as hell and this is a no frills class. He will tell you exactly what he is thinking and if he thinks you're nuts he has no problem letting you know. For anyone that wants to try something new, this is a great way to gather the ***** to get up on stage and try out material. ... Most people are beginners and most people are terrible but that is part of the fun. -- Michelle A Via Yelp Kurtis and his team are hands down the best stand up comedy instruction in Northern California. If you want to do this professionally, or just explore a new hobby like I did, you will find thoughtful and in depth instruction and a community of cool and funny people. Take a chance and do the free intro! It's awesome!! -- Rebecca B via Yelp My son and I took Kurtis's beginning comedy class at the SF Comedy College last summer. He is a great teacher and a force of nature. The class was better than I could have ever imagined. The class was ALIVE and full or laughter... -- Chad Krimmel via LinkedIn |
