ABOUT DC
D.C. Benny’s style of telling autobiographical stories, inhabited by original characters, has been honed over his thirty-two years as a performer.
Benny's third appearance on NBC's “Showtime At The Apollo” has over fourteen million Youtube views, he has multiple stand up specials including Comedy Central Presents, and Dry Bar, was a top eight finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and has a cult following from his roles as Cesar in John Singleton’s “Illegal Tender”, and as “Chaz” on the soap opera “As The World Turns”. He also starred in national commercials for Verizon, Dell, Volkswagon, Wendy’s, AIG, and the Budweiser “How You Doin’?” superbowl campaign.
His underground comedic story-telling show, Urban Myth, became an New York staple, where performers such as Dave Chappelle, Cash Cab's Ben Bailey, Robert Kelley, Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, and Vic Henley all came to tell their funniest, true stories.
His comedy albums are on constant rotation on Sirius radio, and his personal essays, stories, and articles have been featured in New York Magazine, The New York Observer, Narratively, and Heeb Magazine.
When not touring, he offers private coaching for stand up comedy/storytelling, dividing his time between Brooklyn and Long Island's North Fork.
This class is taught through Zoom.
DC is a master and highly respected in both art forms. Therefore this class is perfect for anyone who wants to develop either or even combine them. It’s like getting two classes for the price of one!
Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate this class is perfect for people looking to bump up their acts in a turbo-supportive setting. We help you find your voice, develop material, craft a joke or a story, and deliver it in a professional, spontaneous, and funny way. In this six-week class, you will workshop your material in front of your classmates with a huge graduation show at the end.
All students will perform in a graduation show on Zoom and if they can attend in person, Gotham Comedy Club in New York City as well.
