The founder and head instructor, "Donte D'one, " has been training 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, such as Sydney Comedy School and School of Hard Knock Knocks, while other students have gone on to become guest instructors at schools across the country. His school focuses more on actual live stand-up comedy performances and fringe show education and less on social marketing and corporate public speaking training. 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. His 5-week or 3-day crash Complete Industry Courses are taught only twice a year in Sydney and once a year in Adelaide, Melbourne, 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 in AGT and have made 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 performing live 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 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. He currently runs 2 comedy clubs in Sydney, the "Catch A Rising Comic" shows at The Civic Hotel and The Caringbah Hotel, where his comedy school students get free opportunities to perform. 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 6 Australian locations (Parramatta, Surry Hills, Sydney CBD, Adelaide CBD, Canberra CBD, and Melbourne CBD).
