Testimonials

Here are just a few of the dozens and dozens of testimonials from around the world that we have received over the last 5 years:

Steve,

I just wanted to say I back you up 1000% in the things you talk about. It's helped an unbelievable amount. With my extreme case of self diagnosed ADD, the STRUCTURE I needed (that your killer stand up material provides), is exactly what is making me blaze thru comedy on fire. I knew a few years ago after starting performing, I had to do something...

I am ready to hit the scene here in Minneapolis full time, at least 5 nights a week. Anyways, I finally started up again, and this time I was on the right foot as I had planned. I won a local competition that's held twice a month, doing "5 minutes of fame", and I know so much of it is thanks to your system.

Thanks again--I've purchased everything you've put out, and the materials are fantastic. I look forward to more tele-seminars and materials! I'm a continuing student on comedy, and I'll buy anything for some knowledge in this field (you know how that is I am sure).

Hi Steve, 

Well, I got up on stage last night for the first time.  Your system is great!
If I had not read your writing guide and performing guide, there is no way I would have actually done that. 

I had about 5-6 minutes of material, got some laughs with my first bit and during my second half I forgot about half of what I wanted to say.  But I was the only person who knew it.  It means what I did not say can probably be removed anyhow. I was at a club in Huntington Beach CA, Martini Blues. 

Too bad the others are not using your material.  I will give you up dates as I progress. 

I will recommend your system when the other comics ask why my set worked the way
it did.

Thanks Steve,

The writing guide is freakin awesome! I already have so much new material that I won't get it all on stage for quite a while, not to mention that I've rewritten most of my existing material very successfully with your techniques. I'm recommending your material to all the folks in my little troupe of comics...

Thanks again for your help,

Hey Steve,

I just wanted to let you know how valuable this writing guide has been to me. I'm in a weekly writing group with four other guys and we all use this system to create material.

It's been three weeks and I've already developed almost five minutes of 'A' material. And the great thing is, is that I haven't performed any more than I usually do. I'm writing smarter, not harder (boy, that sounds cheesy).

Thanks Steve,

Thanks so much for sharing your insights with us...I am so EXCITED about my stand-up career!!!  I'm working on getting a tape made for prospective clients, live in an area where there are no clubs to perform open mic...

No worries, I know I'm going to do what I love, and that's what it's really about...

Thanks again,

Hey Steve,
 
I love your e-books -- I spent 10 years in the Navy myself. One of the first women in aircraft maintenance. Man, do I have material from that. I was the only women in a shop of 80 men.
 
Thanks for the wonderful material and all the help you are giving me through your material. I stayed up till 5 AM this morning reading your e-books.
 
Best to you,

"I've been a comedian full time since 1985 and a teacher of comedy since 1993. I saw Steve's material and it was so good it made me want to quit and take his course so I could learn the RIGHT way.

I made many stupid mistakes on my own without guidance and Killer Stand-Up is a FANTASTIC advantage to comedians on all levels. A beginner will learn from it and I did too. Plus,

Steve is a sincere teacher of something he loves. I consider him not only a great performer and teacher, he's become a respected friend. Don't buy his materials, invest in his passion and watch the positive results come flying back to you. I've gotten them myself. DO IT. You won't be sorry."

"I would like to personally thank you for putting out great stuff. It has completely changed my approach to stand-up. Keep up the good work!"

"Dear Steve, I will be sending you a check for the writing guide. I found it way too helpful to just review and give it back! I am now taking the writing part out of my "Business book" and telling people on my newsletter list to get the writing stuff from you.

Great stuff! If this cannot help them... nothing can."

From his recent newsletter:

"This is by far the best comedy writing system/platform/seminar that I have seen to date. The Author Steve Roye has given you over 700 pages of quality exercise/techniques. But he does it in a non-exercise/technique/workshop way! There was one page (I will not tell you what it said) that was worth ten times the cost of the book. If you are going to buy one comedy writing book this year, order the Interactive Writing Guide.

If you are a new kid on the block, order this book before you work another day. If you have done fewer than 250 (paid) shows, you also need to order the Interactive Performance Guide... I have been writing/performing for over ten years now, and I can say for sure that this book has helped me become a better writer.

I say that from a guy who has 7 CDs and 3 books to his credit. Laugh at my ramblings if you want, I am headed to the bank to make another deposit and I have the best October of my life coming up."

"I am still reading my writing and performing guide. I must tell you these are the best guides on the market. I am so glad I found your website."

"Steve, I received the files on Friday in one piece. Have started reading and can't turn the pages fast enough."

"I gotta tell ya... I went back to my guides and reread them and they've really helped me again!!!!! I'm doing a ton of writing and my stuff is getting consistent laughs."

"I have every comedy how-to book written, right here on the shelf. But I tell ya, the best thing I've come across in about 20 years is Killer Stand-Up Comedy."

"Dude, this killerstandup course is the real deal. You've put into words what every comic that's out there needs to read, and I mean now. I've been performing standup for about 8 years and after going through the materials once, it has revolutionized the way I approach writing.

Seriously, the pressures of writing and developing new stuff is wearing off on a daily basis. I could really go on, but I just wanted to commend you on this work. Because it works. My goal is an hour of new stuff in a year. Bring it on."

"In three performances, I am so far ahead... I owe a lot of the laughs, the succinctness, and the performance to what you wrote in those manuals and talked me through."

"Steve - I bought the "Comedy Bible" & Greg Dean's book, and I gotta tell you that your book is by far the most real, and most engaging one yet. Either I think just like you, or you have it right. Your writing is appealing and not some droll of formulas and what not to do. Excellent."

"I am writing to you because I have decided to purchase the Interactive Performance Guide. I was so impressed by the writing guide that I felt I must have this software."

"I went ahead and bought the Performing Guide...and it is by far the best of all the books that I have with regards to performing. I will definitely recommend this to any/all aspiring comics I meet."

"Your writing process is the best I've ever seen and has to be invaluable to anyone thinking about being a comedian or even a speaker."

"Steve Roye...What you've written has helped me a lot...even for somebody like myself who has been doing comedy since 1982 for God's sake..."

"It's better than all the books I have on the subject combined! Starting comics would be foolish to waste their time on anything else! You get right to the crutch of things and explain it in a way that makes it easy to understand and apply."

"Of all the books I've read and all the courses I've been through, and some bizarre stand-up comedy courses, this one flat out, from a comedian's point of view, is without a question the best I've ever taken."

"It's intuitive. It seems right. Other methods I've read are more academic and hard to fit into... It's really taken the fear away. I feel much more confident in my own abilities to come up with material."

"Totally stellar! I wish I had been privy to this when I first started in the comedy biz."

"This stuff has completely change the way that I approach stand-up comedy. It's just so far ahead of anything else out there. What I wouldn't give to have had this when I first started."

"I'm on the drug, this natural drug. I feel fortunate to have come across your stuff."

"I was able to use the techniques in this system in minutes - it has already paid for itself!"

"Your information is like cocaine!"

"Great job on compiling an excellent, comprehensive, practical tool and catalyst for comedic growth and development."

"He dives right into exactly the types of issues that I was trying to figure out for myself. It's all laid out in two manuals. What more can you ask for."

"Steve's system has helped me to focus on what to do in comedy... Thanks for a great system, Steve."
