Taught at customized dates and times for these 3 types of schedules:
1) Weekly local workshops held near where
Jim Richardson now lives in Mill Valley, 10 minutes north of San Francisco, California, USA.
New four-meeting, three-hour workshops totaling 12 hours of instruction
will be offered throughout the SF Bay Area and
the rest of northern California later in 2019.

For a quick 30 second preview,
listen to Steve Jaxon reading our commercial
aired Feb. 12-16, 2016 on KSRO's 3-6 pm M-F show "The Drive."
Steve is selling our old six-meeting Rohnert Park class, which was 45 minutes north of SF.

Meetings five and six will now be sold separately
for workshop graduates looking for the fastest way to climb
the first rung of the comedy career ladder: win a major comedy contest.
How?
By the class putting on their own Comedy Marathon Contest at a local night club.
