In The Beginning
Comic Strip Live was born on a Monday night in May of 1975 by Richard Tienken, John McGowan and Robert Wachs. They found the original and current location the very next day.
Originally the Comic Strip featured comics, singers, magicians and novelty acts. Soon they realized that stand up comedy was the only way to go and the Comic Strip has been a showcase club ever since. The first big star was box office legend Eddie Murphy. The first time Eddie came into the club, he was only 18 and had a lot of swagger...almost too much! Saturday Night Live soon followed and the rest is show biz history. Eddie in turn discovered Chris Rock at The Comic Strip.
Like so many acts, television superstar Jerry Seinfeld worked for many years on the Comic Strip's stage. Everybody called him "Doctor Comedy" because there wasn't a bit he couldn't fix.
Students at Comic Strip Live rave about the quality and value of the classes offered. They praise DF Sweedler, the instructor, for his extensive knowledge and expertise in the comedy industry. Students appreciate that the class goes beyond their expectations and provides them with valuable resources to start their careers in comedy. Many students have taken the course multiple times, indicating their dedication to mastering all that DF Sweedler has to offer. Quotes: - "The class taught me so much about the art of comedy. DF Sweedler really knows his stuff and is able to share that knowledge in a way that is easily understandable and applicable." - "I learned a lot about crafting jokes and the business side of comedy. The class gave me the skills and confidence to pursue a career in this field."
