Testimonials

Tim Ferguson has gained critical acclaim across the globe. Below are some testimonials from his comedy students. 
The best thing about Tim’s comedy course is that it’s really practical. It’s not like other courses I’ve done where you are left thinking “OK great theory – but how do I make use of that?” Tim makes it very clear how you can apply what you learn to your own comedy writing.

‘Tim Ferguson’s Cheeky Monkey book/course was a key factor in moving me from free open mic stand-up comedy to performing paid spots in professional comedy clubs.‘

‘Even after five years of intensive screenwriting study Tim Ferguson’s comedy course impressed me with its savvy insights, passionate delivery and ability to turn even non-believers into skilled comedy writers. Absolutely worth every cent.’

Tim’s comedy class was outstanding … His notes are a fantastic reference guide and I still regularly use them.  Don’t hesitate. Just do the class.

This course helped me to understand how to structure a joke for maximum effect and create characters that are consistently funny while avoiding cliché. It helped me get the giggle factor!

I wrote my latest screenplay with Tim’s comedy principals by my side. Every time I noticed that I’d written an unfunny scene, which was only most of the time, I’d grab Tim’s notes and with startling ease make any scene laugh out loud funny.
Brett StanningScreenwriter

The true nature of humour had eluded me until I did Tim’s comedy workshop. Understanding what really makes people laugh has turned my writing on its head so my feet are now on the ground. Highly recommended.

Tim Ferguson does the unthinkable: he breaks comedy down into it’s component parts, allowing anyone to use his formulas to craft jokes that are actually funny! I cannot recommend this course highly enough.
