Do you want to make a living from comedy?

A must-have for comedians of all levels

“Despite being a comedian for 20 years, I had the need to deepen my knowledge and skills. Wow, this is not just a course that teaches you to write gags and develop your comedy skills, it’s so much more. Rob isn’t just an excellent comedy coach, he’s an unbelievable motivator who shares his life experience generously throughout the course.”

Chrissi Sokoll

“Nothing I’ve read, studied or listened to, to improve in comedy, has come close to Rob Spence’s course. The course has heaps of practical activities that help me produce a large quantity of new material and go deeper with the ideas I already have. This is a great product with actionable information that is helping me elevate my comedy to the next level.”

Chris Darwa

I've been touring my act for 35 years

I’m Rob Spence, a professional comedian. Here are some of the festivals and shows I've done in the past:


  • Montreux Comedy Festival
  • Just for Laughs
  • Grand rire de Québec
  • die Wochenshow
  • Arosa Humor Festival
  • Rob's Comedy club
  • Edinburgh Comedy Festival
  • Paris fait sa Comédie
  • Cologne Comedy Festival

I know you’re sick of vague advice from people who haven’t had any success themselves.

Well, for the last 35 years I’ve:

  • toured 9 different solo shows across Europe, America and Australia
  • performed live in all types of venues: from small comedy clubs to 50,000 people stadium
  • had my own comedy TV show of 44 episodes

If anyone can teach you humour, it's me.

  • Comedy Madness Aus Australien
  • odysseus hardcore comedy
  • Tierisch
  • Body Language
  • das Kängumuh
  • Best of Rob Spence

What you're going to learn

If you...

  • Love making people laugh (even at your own expense)
  • Can get (at least) a chuckle out of people in your life (mom doesn’t count) when you tell a joke 
  • Go “I wish that was me” everytime you see a stand up comedian perform 
  • Want to work fulltime as a comedian (or even just want to add more humor to your talks and presentations)
  • Just love the art of comedy and want to be able to do it yourself

this course will help you: 

  • Start killing on stage/on set - write and deliver hilarious lines that has everyone saying “I wish I thought of that” 
  • Write funny material more consistently. Use better organized processes to come up with material faster, and edit them into hard hitting  jokes
  • Get over writer’s block, stage fright, and every other problem that’s ever stood in your way
  • Develop your unique style of comedy and personal brand as a comedian 
  • Blend more laughter into everything you do ...even if you have the most depressing job on the planet
  • Be heard, be seen, change minds - keep people fascinated, hanging on the edge of their seats, as you express your opinions and stories (… and fall off it when you get to the punch line).
  • Be respected, and find meaning in your life - follow your passion and be valued for something you’re good at 


...Even if you’ve never had an applause break. Even if you’ve never done more than 5 minutes on stage. And even if you still struggle with stage fright or writer’s block. 

The best part?

You get a safe space to experiment. 

And a mentor who understands what you’re going through, and can give you the support, structure and reinforcement you need.

In 2 months you’ll become a weapon of mass hilarity, with audience members splitting sides with laughter left and right. 

Even better, you’ll know how to use this skill to make a good living, and never have to work a “day-job” again.

My dream is to see you laugh your way to the bank.
