Barry Neal
has been a professional stand-up comedian for over 13 years. In addition
to doing the booking for numerous comedy clubs, coffee houses and universities,
he maintains a rigorous schedule of headline appearances at comedy clubs
and corporate events around the country and also conducts a comedy workshop
that includes 5 weeks of class and culminates in a live performance at
a top comedy club in Los Angeles.
Over the years, Barry has coached hundreds
of local comics, actors and writers, many of whom have become headliners
and appeared on numerous cable and television shows including those hosted
by Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and David Letterman.
Because so many people
interested in stand-up comedy don't live in the Los Angeles area and
can't attend the comedy workshop in person, Barry has put the main portions
of his classes into this five-volume video course.

America's funniest comedians now
performing in your living room!
| If you've
ever considered being a stand-up comedian, the first thing you
must do is study what the best in the business have done in the
past - and how they've used the same principles Barry Neal stresses
to improve their personas, material, presentations and careers.
This series
of performances is a compilation that has never been assembled
in a set before. By watching them all, a comedian-hopeful will
have completed the equivalent of 20 years of studies, following
the careers of such notable performers as Jason Alexander, Tim
Allen, Jeff Altman, Tom Arnold, Richard Belzer, Drew Carey,
Jim Carrey, Carrottop, Ellen Degeneres, Jeff Foxworthy, Kelsey
Grammer, Jenny Jones, Cheech Marin, Norm MacDonald, John Mulrooney,
Rosie O'Donnell, Chris Rock, Paul Rodriguez, Ray Romano, Adam
Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Unknown Comic, and more
Each program
(either VHS video or DVD) in the set runs approximately one
hour, and is part of a full course in the history of modern
stand-up performance comedy that no student of the subject should
be without.
