"Steve North is simply and totally
the best coach in the business and I should know, I've tried them
all. He understands comedy like no one I have ever met. His theory
about the comedic character and the "blind spot" is the key to
success in comedy. I am so thankful that I found him. I attribute
the growing success in comedy to what he has taught me.
I recommend him very highly: five star rating!"
