I wanted to write the experiences of my life and make it work on stage. Jan’s coaching is so good.
I didn’t realize stand-up comedy was something i had to write. but now it is my new drug.
meeting other people and hearing their perspective on comedy was so interesting. the honest feedback from Jan is awesome.
REVIEWS FROM 1on1 COACHING

I hired Jan Bannister to coach me before competing for a stand-up comedy contest because I had no experience. She is very knowledgeable with her craft and was brutally honest with what I needed to work on. She helped me find my voice. Well, I made the semifinals at the contest (amongst seasoned pros), and cannot thank her enough. This woman is genius!

Jan Bannister, Comedy Mama-mentor for female comics everywhere. She planted the seed in “DONE is Better than Perfect”. As a result, this show is DONE. (It may not be perfect)

I have taken many of Jan’s comedy classes but this is my first story writing class. Jan helps you break down a story and basically declutter it. She teaches you to recognize the important key parts and organize your story so it flows and holds the attention of your audience. Jan’s a straight shooter and wont BS you when it comes to what works and is good and what’s crap. I highly recommend Jan’s story or comedy classes to anyone who is interested in having fun and trying something new
