"I have read many books on comedy, and have taken LIVE courses, so I have absorbed lots of information. And THIS course has a TON of GOLD in it. I work for a few Hollywood studios, so I know how important comedy is to create a successful movie."

"If there was a PhD in Comedy, Jared Volle would have one. Jared takes what seems like simple concepts and blows your mind."
Comedian, Producer
“You're my new hero. This book is a much-needed resource for the thousands of comedians (including me!) who need no-nonsense, practical advice for generating ideas, fine-tuning material, overcoming challenges, developing an original style, and mapping out a career.”
You thought being a comedian would be magical. And it is… for the most part.
There are so many amazing moments in stand-up comedy — the feeling of absolute confidence right before you hit an amazing punchline, the gratitude you feel while waiting for an applause break to die down so you can continue your performance, the spontaneous laughter you get when you can’t help but laugh at your own joke. And taking photos with audience members and listening to how much they loved your material… just to name a few.
But then things start going wrong
Have you ever…
You sit at the computer thinking “Why is this so hard?” Everything feels like 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
It’s an awful feeling: The feeling that you’re a fake and everyone is going to realize it right when you hit the stage.
The lump in your throat… your heart racing and hands shaking. You try to tell yourself that you’re fine, but you’re mortified.
If you have experienced any of the above or you’re worried about other stand-up comedy writing, performing, or marketing issues, you’re not alone. Solving these problems (and more!) is what we help comedians at every level do every single day.
If you finally want to become the hilarious person you’ve always dreamed of then now is the time to make a change, and fast, before start struggling on stage or before you miss out on a relationship with that special someone.
If you’ve gone through other comedy training methods without seeing the results you were looking for then you know how frustrating it can be. Whether you’ve tried going through one of the old-school stand-up comedy training programs or spent hours scrolling through Google, every training method seems to lead to writer’s block, hacky “water-cooler” jokes, or just plain duds that you wouldn’t tell your worst enemy.
There's the brainstorming method, which sucks the fun out of writing comedy and always leads to hacky, formulaic sounding jokes that sound nothing like you.
There's the broken assumption method, which turns every single punchline into nothing more than trying to surprise your friend by lying to them in the setup.
There's the "write an email" method, bizarrely thinks that you’ll magically tap into your natural sense of humor just because you’re imagining emailing a friend.
There's the brute force method, where you sit down for a specific period of time every day and force yourself to write in the hopes that you’ll stumble upon something worth bringing on stage.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
Every single one of the above methods is flawed… because they focus on the wrong thing!
They don’t realize that comedy training is only effective when it’s based on psychological triggers that EVERY human being shares.
Other training methods focus on superficial joke structures (which is like teaching students how to gift-wrap an awful gift… sure, the outside looks pretty, but inside you got a nothing-burger).
But when you make one small switch and follow what we teach instead, wow, will you see changes fast.
…And you’ll start wondering why this isn’t taught in every single comedy class in the world!
Relax and have fun every time you sit down to write, even if you’re not sure what to write when you start out.
Learn how to grab the audience’s attention and connect with them without feeling needy.
You’ll learn effective strategies for quickly getting into (and sustaining) your creative flow.
No more writer’s block or performance anxiety. Fall back in love with the greatest career the world has to offer.
Discover quick techniques you can use right NOW to be funny on-stage or off. You’ll see immediate changes in the quality of your humor, without weeks of intensive training.
Our writing progression system makes it simple for beginners to learn how to write stand-up comedy, but also gives you exact steps to "step-up" the challenge as your comedy skills improve.
I have been teaching stand-up comedy since 2010 and I actually practice what I preach when it comes to dominating on stage!
I was a finalist at the Great American Comedy Festival and even an opener for comedian Kyle Cease (voted #1 Comedy Central special of 2009).
I’ve performed shows with over a thousand people in the audience! I’ve struggled at open mics in dive bars at 1AM with a handful of drunk audience members and I’ve headlined sold-out shows. I’ve done it all.
Throughout that time, I’ve been obsessed with what makes world-class comedians so much different than struggling open mic comedians.

Each joke-writing guide starts with a deep dive into exactly how the joke creates humor. We go beyond the "structure" of the joke to see exactly what the audience is responding to so that your punchlines hit the bullseye.
Concrete steps on every step of the writing process, from blank page to polished joke. Watch Jared take killer jokes and break them apart to show you how they were written.
Peer over Jared's shoulder as he goes through the entire process, from a randomly generated writing prompt to finished joke.
Best. Course. Ever.
Jared has done his homework. And he’s as sharp as a piece of broken porcelain.
For the beginning comic, just his fundamental advice about memorizing material at the expense of persona is invaluable, but that’s just a start. As a published author with a journalism degree, I can tell you his writing advice is spot on.
But every single presentation and there are close to a 100 with variable lengths, has clear and concise information that will help the pro almost as much as it helps the novice.
For novices, this course is indispensable. For pros, I guarantee Jared’s informative videos are still well worth your time.

The Faster and Funnier program gives you the tools you need to not only become a good comic. It helps you break down the walls we don’t realize we put up for ourselves and harness your craft to become a great comic. If your are serious about becoming a professional comedian then this is a must have.
A lesson that spoke to me the most was having to deal with hecklers. I always felt that my material was strong and could present it well. Hecklers could really throw me off. I would loose focus and or loose the audience because of my reactions. I found out how to deal with hecklers and embrace it into my act as to not loose the audience during my performances. This is one of many helpful concepts you will find in this program.

Faster & Funnier is spot on. I just applied the storytelling techniques and it was soooo much easier to write material. Not only did it help me focus more on how I naturally talk and have conversations, it helped me weave multiple jokes I made for a premise into a more natural cohesive bit. I can’t wait to test this new stuff out next time I get on stage.
Your radical, simple, but oh-so-effective is a better approach to writing jokes; it's mind-blowing. I say this because I only knew how to write jokes using a set-up punchline approach. It never felt completely natural on stage doing bits this way, but its all I knew. I never heard about creating comedy conflict in a joke before. Starting one from a safe place and ending up in a violation is pure brilliance. This makes you the Yoda of Stand Up! Thank you for sharing and showing this.

Jared Volle does an excellent example of explaining the Benign Violation Theory and how to apply that to writing comedy. Gives clear examples and provides the ways and means to make it all work. A worthwhile course for anyone wanting to improve their comedy story telling.
This course is a deal at any price. Lots of excellent educational material. I've studied comedy my whole life; and this is some of the best teaching I've ever found.
Dean Burkey
It was a good match for what I was looking. He really has a unique way to approach comedy writing, and I found it really helpful.
Abhishek Upmanyu
This course is great for logical thinkers. The author explains comedy from a logical prospective.
Gareth Slinn
Really good to fill the gaps in my knowledge - also love the fact that this is experience-based knowledge from a guy who has been there and done it.
Tanya Phillips
Jared really understands what makes an audience tick!
Jim Barron
Really great stuff - one of the, if not the, best analysis of stand up as a science that I've ever seen.
Robert J Finn
I am very impressed with the quality and smoothness of this course, I had walked away from comedy 4 years ago after losing my leg, I took this course to help reinvigorate my drive to perform again, I am ready to get back out there and kill it , thank you for a great course, now I am going to start your writing course.
Bud Rigoulot
I believe Jared Volle's voice is one that you should hear whether you are learning standup comedy writing or trying to improve your writing. This is my fifth book or online course on comedy writing in my past three month immersion in the subject. The first four books/courses were all valuable but similar. Volle's approach and emphasis differ from the consensus. I urge you to listen and decide for yourself. Expose yourself to this outstanding course.
Alex Chik
Jared teaches this material in a very comprehensive manner. I feel like I just earned my Masters Degree in Stand-Up Comedy.
