The ‘Professor of Stand-Up’ with 45 years of experience, 6 books, & courses, Greg Dean.

Greg Dean sets aside his successful career as a comedian to pursue his passion – to teach the art of stand-up.

Four decades ago, Greg noticed a void in the world of comedy – no one was teaching it. Setting aside his own successful career as a comedian, including appearances on Saturday Night Live and roles with Ringling Bros Circus and his improv troupe, Greg became a pioneer in comedy education.

He embarked on a mission to codify the basic techniques of comedy, creating a comprehensive system based on principles, techniques, and skills used by comedic writers and performers.

Greg’s innovative Comedy System didn’t just fill a gap; it launched the careers of comedy greats like Whoopi Goldberg, Anthony Jeselnik, and Sherri Shepherd. Beyond professionals, his classes have empowered people from diverse backgrounds to embrace their inner humor and express it confidently.

Not just recognized as the “Best Comedy Teacher” by his peers, Greg earned the status of the go-to professor for stand-up comedy instructors. His system’s effectiveness has led it to be adopted by nearly every comedy teacher in the field, solidifying Greg Dean’s legacy as a household name and a true legend in comedy education.

Greg shared about:

• Living on the 14th day of the dolphin. Don’t just learn what you’ve learned and repeat it, but take it and move beyond it.
• How to develop the basic technique that will lead you to success in stand-up comedy.
