"I did Robert's course to look at comedy writing from a totally different angle. It was a fascinating, surprising and enlightening experience. Robert is extremely astute at finding, in each person, the potential for comedic performance -- both material and style of performance. In a short space of time I saw the most unlikely people transformed into comedians -- to their own surprise and pleasure. The course has enriched my understanding of comedy -- its variety of forms, and therefore added hugely to my comedy performance and writing."
