Greg Dean, the Professor of Stand Up Comedy

Reviews

Greg Dean is, simply put, a technician. Taking his class has truly transformed the way I perform. The way that he pulls material out of his students is a true testament to his devotion to the craft and art of Comedy. Kristina C. Waltham, MA

Recommend Greg’s classes 100%! I’m currently enrolled in his 101 class and I couldn’t be happier with what I’m learning and the environment Greg creates in the classroom. Teaching beginners is tough, but Greg does so in a manner that makes you feel at ease and eager to dive in and learn more. Sean T., Orinda, CA
