Five stars for the course. Still assessing the psychological damage. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The accelerated format is absolute genius for what it sets out to achieve. You start the week like a startled fish out of water and finish it standing on stage, microphone in hand, voluntarily attempting to make a room full of strangers laugh. It’s a remarkable transformation, particularly given that no one is legally forcing you to do it. The mentoring is exceptional — genuinely insightful, encouraging and expertly delivered, with just the right balance of support and being pushed well beyond your comfort zone. And then there are the friendships. The bonds you form with your fellow aspiring comedians are extraordinary, although I suppose that’s to be expected when you’ve all spent a week together in what is essentially a torture chamber with punchlines. Nothing brings people together quite like shared trauma and the imminent threat of public humiliation. I couldn’t recommend School of Hard Knocks more highly. Whether you have genuine comedic aspirations or simply feel your life hasn’t been sufficiently uncomfortable lately, this course delivers. Five stars. Would voluntarily traumatise myself again.

A huge thanks to Morry, Brad, and Stig for this awesome, well-crafted course! From day one, you feel supported while being challenged to write and perform jokes on stage in front of comedians and fellow students. It's nerve wracking, but by getting on the mic every night you build your confidence. Performing in front of a live audience was scary, but I soon as I grabbed the mic I thought to myself " you've got this, you've been trained for this!!". No kidding, it really all just come together at the end and makes you truly appreciate how much you have learned in just five nights! I highly recommend this course to anyone who loves comedy and wants a challenge, and future comedians alike.

I did the 5-days stand-up comedy classes at Hard Knock Knocks Comedy School. It was great! I could do many reps as practice and receive real-time feedback from the teachers, Morry Morgan & Bradford Oakes, and got to do a live show on the last day of class (graduation show). It was AMAZING! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get in to comedy, it is perfect for everyone, even as a beginner. Their feedback is invaluable!

If you are in anyway inclined to try stand-up, just as a once-off bucketlist situation, or maybe as a potential new hobby/life passion, this is the way to do it. The course is perfectly laid out, just long enough to pick up some pivotal pointers and guidance, but not long enough you lose your nerve. All under the watchful and eye and thoughtful guidance of people who know it, because they do it. Something you will never forget for the rest of your days, and who knows it may unlock something in you that changes you. It has me.
