Stand up comedy is one of the most difficult challenges an individual can ever take on. It actually
ranks higher than public speaking in a nationwide survey about people's fears. For our incredibly
brave Reporters who eventually take to the stage, we provide them each with 1-2 professional
Stand Up Comedy Mentors. Theses mentors coach, encourage, help prepare our reporters for
their big night. We are always thankful for their time and commitment. To lean more about each
Mentor, simply click on their image to be taken to their official home page.
