Stand up Comedy on TV looks easy, in reality, how long does it normally take to get to the actual performance stage of a Stand up Comic on TV?
it varies, but normally, by the time you see a comic performing regularly on TV, they've probably been at it on the average of 5-7 years. There are of course exceptions to the rule and those depend on several factors we cover in class, it is, however, possible to get to that stage in less than half that time.

Your teacher
The founder and head instructor, Donte D'one, trained students in Australia from 2010 to 2023. His former school (Aus School of Stand-up Comedy) by 2018 was the largest stand-up comedy school in Australia, with locations in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, and Brisbane. He has trained over 1600 stand-up comics across Australia, with some graduates going on to start their own comedy schools, while other students have gone on to become guest instructors at schools across the country. His school, which limits its course size to 8 students for more one-on-one instruction, focuses more on actual live stand-up comedy performances locally, nationally, and internationally, plus fringe show education, as well as brand building, self-promoting, and corporate comedy team-building workshops. His curriculum and unique teaching style have produced more award-winning comics and Raw Comedy Competition finalists than any other comedy school in the country. Due to limited course sizes in each major city, of all those who apply, only a limited number of students are accepted in each city, each year. His 6-week Award Producing Complete Industry Courses are taught only twice a year in Sydney and once a year in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra. Classes are limited to only 8 students, which allows for more one-on-one time with each student. His school focuses more on quality and less on quantity. He has over 50 years of experience in the USA (Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles) and Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth Festivals), both as a show promoter and as a stand-up comic performer. His 2017 Adelaide Fringe Show "10 Comics International Laugh-a-Thon Show" was voted a "Must See" by BankSA. His graduates have performed on AGT and have been among the top 5 finalists in the Raw Comedy finals on TV. His graduates have also performed on Amazon Prime TV (LOL) as well as in every Fringe and Comedy Festival across Australia. He started the Las Vegas International Comedy School in 2016, primarily focusing on training local comics to perform on international stages and the ins and outs of creating, promoting, and selling their own Fringe and Comedy Festival shows. His award-producing Complete Industry Comedy Course covers everything you need to know about not only how to perform live on any stage across Australia but also how to turn laughs into cash as a stand-up comic. He also created a course just for new open mic comics on the scene and also offers private tuition. As an actor, he's had roles in The Matrix Reloaded and The Fat Pizza vs. Housos movies as well as TV appearances on Getaway and The Disney Channel. From 2008 till lockdown, he ran the longest consecutively running comedy club in Sydney, producing over 1200 weekly stand-up comedy shows. His club was the only club selected by Mastercard to participate in their National Priceless campaign and was the winner of The Pride of Workmanship award from Rotary Clubs Australia. The founder "Donte" is also the author of several books, including "So You Wanna Be a Stand-up Comic? - 15 Things to Know Before and During" and "How Not to Lose Money with Your Fringe and Comedy Festival Shows." The Las Vegas International School of Stand-up Comedy is now Australia's largest stand-up comedy school with 7 Australian locations (Parramatta, Surry Hills, Sydney, Adelaide CBD, Canberra CBD, Brisbane CBD, and Melbourne CBD).
