Why Laughing Buddha? Because our stand-up comedy classes have been recognized as some of the best in NYC. Several of our former students have gone on to major success as working comics. All of our classes are taught by professional comics with years of experience in the industry, and our curriculum is designed to help aspiring comedians develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed on stage. Whether you're a beginner looking to dip your toes into the world of stand-up, or a seasoned performer looking to refine your craft, our classes provide a supportive environment where you can hone your skills and connect with like-minded people. With a proven track record of success and a commitment to fostering the next generation of comedy stars, we are proud to be the #1 stand-up comedy school in NYC.
We created the original Hosting and Crowd Work class more than a decade ago. In this fun, yet intensive workshop students practice crowd work with a simulated audience, and learn the tricks of being a great emcee. As a bonus, the workshop includes an overview of the business side of hosting in comedy, how to land gigs, working on the road, and more.

This workshop is perfect for beginners, as well as aspiring and seasoned comedians who wish to develop and perform a tight five minute set with strong laughs from start to finish. Our classes are welcoming, inclusive, and comparatively smaller than other schools giving you the personal attention you deserve.
