“Gibran is one of the most thoughtful, hilarious and patient teachers I have ever worked with. He genuinely cares about everyone’s growth in the class and his feedback has helped elevate my stand-up, not just with writing jokes but also with my presence on stage.”
“I’ve seen Gibran killing at shows around the city, and was so excited to find out he was teaching a class! Gibran not only focused on teaching the class comedy techniques as a whole, but he gave individual attention on our specific styles and how to hone our natural comedic voices. It was a game-changer!”
