Over my career, I benefited from comedy coaches who helped take my career to the next level. Now, I coach select comics ranging from beginners to national headliners.

Sessions are 90 minutes and might include joke writing, constructing a set, character development, or other needs unique to each comic.

Whatever your need, most likely I've written something similar - from best man toasts and eulogies, to TED Talks and commencement addresses, to congressional testimony and political convention speeches.

The secret is adopting each client's personal voice, and working with them to expand their point of view and comfort level to take on more interesting stories and subject matter.

Do you need a partner to help organize your thoughts, a studio-approved punch-up guy, or a writer to come in and do all the work?

Every relationship and agreement is unique to the specific project, based on time commitment, deadline, and degree of interest with the topic. I've collaborated on books, op-eds, autobiographies, video projects and shareholder reports. What do you got?

I've developed, pitched, sold and developed more than a dozen original television shows and films to every network and many top studios.

Selling an original idea to Hollywood is nearly impossible, so I make no promises you'll sell yours, but I've been in the room - many times - and I could likely steer you in the right direction to increase your chances.
