Meet Jerry Corley - Founder of The Comedy Clinic
“The number one question I get in my workshops is: ‘How do I write jokes from scratch anytime and make it funny?’ So I started the Stand Up Comedy Clinic to fill that need at a reasonable price. The result is success… my students get work.”

The Legendary Steve Martin...
Teaches stand-up comedy as part of the Masterclass series of courses. Make no mistake, Steve Martin is a living legend. He was the original rock star of comedy.
But when it comes to writing comedy, Martin sends his students to my 13 comedy structures.
When it comes to getting laughs, no matter what type of comedian you are, wherever there is a laugh, one or more structures will be in place.
You can get them in my book, "Breaking Comedy's DNA" here.
“Nobody else out there has the credentials Jerry does; working comedian, comedy writer, teacher, author, screenwriter and Executive Producer of a major motion picture comedy… and he shares all his knowledge and experience... Bravo, Jerry!”

Jerry Corley Talks Comedy Structure at the Comedy Store
In my experiences on the road, in the studio, in writer’s rooms and in meetings with comedy writing legends, I’ve collected and refined joke techniques, comedy formulas and performance techniques and have laid them out in a way that allows the beginner to understand the science behind the art and for the experienced writer or comedian to add to his or her experience and heighten the response received from an audience.
My sole goal is to provide the comedian or comedy writer with all the tools they need to truly command their ability to write jokes and comedy routines on anything they want, whenever they desire.
